Night Chills
By deankoontz
Wow!
I have forty of Mr. Koontz’s books in my library, but I’ve only managed to read thirteen so far. I figured it’s time to get to the rest. I picked up Night Chills and found it very scary and somewhat upsetting. In it, Mr. Koontz has done a fine job combining horror and science fiction to bring to life a chilling question of “what if?”. The story is about subliminal messaging, which is nothing short of mind-control. When I was a kid, I remember hearing it was used briefly in advertising but was quickly outlawed. This story outlines what could happen if the wrong people fully developed this form of manipulation. Full of shocking plot twists and complex characters, I couldn’t put this book down. I highly recommend it, but don’t read it at night! Or alone!
Very good read but disturbing in many ways but most of all because of the reality of it. The secrets that go on behind the scenes as the average person goes about their day to day life totally clueless, to the possibilities of mind control and brainwashing. The book contains a lot of scientific and technological information but I felt it was very well explained in layman terms so the reader was neither lost or bored. Definitely informative and a real eye-opener.
Dean kootz scares the pants off me with most of his books but in the end it seems that the good guy wins out.
Sick and twisted book. Loved it!
Disturbing but could not put it down
I enjoy many of Dean Koontzs novels but many like this one get a little too graphic and gruesome.
