  <default_description>Martin Stillwater has a vivid imagination. It charms his loving wife, delights his two little daughters, and gives him all the inspiration he needs to write his highly successful mystery novels. But maybe Martin's imagination is a bit &lt;i&gt;too&lt;/i&gt; vivid . . . One rainy afternoon, a terrifying incident makes him question his grip on reality. A stranger breaks into his house, accusing Martin of stealing his wife, his children--and his life. Claiming to be the &lt;i&gt;real&lt;/i&gt; Martin Stillwater, the intruder threatens to take what is rightfully his. The police think he's a figment of Martin's imagination. But Martin and his family have no choice but to believe the stranger's threat. And run for their lives.
     But wherever they go--wherever they hide--he finds them. . . .</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Mr. Koontz is one of my favorite supernatural/fiction writers. He always seems to deliver a message, despite some nicks and dings, good triumphs over evil. This book is an excellent example and in my opinion one of his best works.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[He does a fantastic job of carrying the suspense through all the way to the end. I hadn't read Dean Koontz in over a decade (don't ask me why because I don't know), but I really enjoyed this one.]]></body>

Not a horror book per se but kind of a cross between mystery and sci-fi.  <br/><br/>An organization run by the rich and well-connected are murdering those who need murdering (from their point of view which is decidedly s...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/45496905">more...</a>]]></body>
