If you’ve ever wondered how good a short story can be, Dean Koontz reminds us in The Neighbor. While it is touted as a prequel of sorts to his novel, The City, you need not have read it — I confess I haven’t yet — to enjoy this mesmerizing and tender short story.

Koontz immediately sucks us into the world of gangly 12 year old Malcolm and his beautiful 17 year old sister, Amalia, whom Malcolm adores. Their parents are terrible, and Malcolm describes their house as being like Poe’s House of Usher If you’ve ever wondered how good a short story can be, Dean Koontz reminds us in The Neighbor. While it is touted as a prequel of sorts to his novel, The City, you need not have read it — I confess I haven’t yet — to enjoy this mesmerizing and tender short story.

Koontz immediately sucks us into the world of gangly 12 year old Malcolm and his beautiful 17 year old sister, Amalia, whom Malcolm adores. Their parents are terrible, and Malcolm describes their house as being like Poe’s House of Usher just before it sank into the swamp. Music is an escape for them, Malcolm finding the one thing he is graceful at in the Saxophone, while his very talented sister plays the clarinet and wants to be a writer. They also share a love for Big Band music of the 1930s and 1940s, which they play on vinyl records in the garage to avoid parents who hardly speak to one another. It is little touches like these which separate Koontz from the pack.

At the center of the story is the house next door, once belonging to recently deceased teacher Rupert Clockenwell. Someone is turning on lights at night in the old house, and Malcolm and his sister Amalia decide to pay the new neighbors a visit. Except there are no new neighbors, only sad revelations, and great danger. To reveal more would ruin this touching and enthralling short story I truly loved.

In addition to being an amazing read, it reminded me why I so much prefer Koontz to others in this field, especially King. With no need for padding because this was not a novel, Koontz excels, giving readers a truly engaging little story. Koontz’s optimistic attitude in regard to the human spirit, and the spiritual in general, and his sometimes common-sense conservative tone, sets him apart for this reader — and is most certainly the reason some don't like his work, if comments from readers about his books in general are to be believed.

However, everything I enjoy about Koontz — when he’s at the top of his game — is on display here in this tender and unforgettable short story. Highly recommended. ...more

I am huge fan of Dean Koontz so it isn't easy for me when I read something by him that it wasn't good. I was meditating to give it a 3-star rating but at the end, I realized that this short story was just okay, so the 2-star rating was sadly the right call in my opinion.

The narrative is nothing out of the ordinary, the premise and development is predictable and even something too much seen in other places, you only have to watch some episodes of Criminal Minds and adding the cliché paranormal fa ...more

Dean Koontz brilliantly tugged at the coming of age of two impressionable youngsters. They lived in a time when the war in Vietnam was escalating. That in itself had no specific effect upon the storyline. This well-written short story gave me a look at the unpredictable dynamics of a family. The characters of this narrative were well-drawn. It was a captivating read - beginning to end.

12-year-old Malcolm had been awoken in the middle of the night by a faint sound coming from the house next door. ...more

“Some felt that perhaps in his past lay a tragedy with which he had never been able to make his peace, that the only companion with which he felt comfortable was sorrow.”
― Dean Koontz, The Neighbor

I really enjoyed this story. I had not read Koontz in years but was seeking a short story and this looked good. It was.

It would appear to be a Ghost story and it is somewhat but more than that, it was also a great story of the love between a brother and sister. I have not read The City so I have no ide ...more

I was going through my ebooks when I found this little novella and thought "what the heck, it's short and I don't know what to read next". Then, I realized it was the prequel to The City. But fortunately, it was not that bad and I actually liked it better than The City.

It was a quick read about an event before the siblings Malcolm and Amelia met Jonah. You really don't need to read this before you read The City, well you really don't need to read it after either. But at least it was better then

I figured I should review the prequel to The City separately, seeing as how I enjoyed The City so much and it was included with the volume. This short story is about Malcolm and Amalia, shortly before Jonah moves in next door. The narrative is also in first-person, but it’s about them, not Jonah. Their neighbor is recently deceased, and yet they believe they’ve heard sounds coming from the house next door. It isn’t a new neighbor that has moved in next door, but could it be a malevolent presence ...more

A short story about a 12 year old boy and his 17 year old sister whose neighbour has passed away, but then they see the lights on in his house...

A very short, somewhat predictable tale that weaves aspects of the supernatural with your typical creepy neighbour story. Entertaining enough and not too bad for a free kindle book.

Malcolm and his sister Amalia have a less than idyllic childhood, filled with secondhand smoke and TV dinners. Their father is cold and emotionally distant, while their mother lives to watch television and gossip with the (other) neighbor. The two children, although five years apart, are very close. The strength of the love between the siblings ends up being of utmost importance to the resolution of the story.

Twelve-year-old, Malcolm, viewed the old man, a retired English teacher, as quiet, one who kept to himself.

Favorite Passages:

The strangeness started at 3:00 one morning, when an unusual sound awakened me. As I sat up in bed, I didn't think the noise had been in my room. I was pretty sure it came from beyond the window, although it might have been the last sound in a dream that, by its very threatening nature, compelled the sleeper to wake. In this case, it called to mind a long sword being drawn from a metal scabbard, the stropping of steel on steel.
_______

Through the sheers that hung over the upstairs window, a sinuous dark form whidded past the curtained glass. Although any moving shadow is bent by light and by every surface over which it travels, this one seemed particularly strange, bringing to mind the supple wings of a mantra ray swimming the sea with all the grace of a bird in flight.
_______

Most mornings, our old man preferred a sandwich for breakfast, usually bacon and eggs on heavily buttered toast. In bad weather, he stood at the sink to eat, staring out at the small backyard, silent and remote, as though he must be pondering important philosophical issues - or planning a murder. On the nearby cutting board stood a mug of coffee. He held the sandwich in his right hand, a cigarette in his left, alternating between the two. When witness to this, I always hoped that in error he would take a bite of the cigarette or attempt to smoke the sandwich, but he never became confused.
_______

"What did he say - the man under window?" I asked.
"He called my name. Twice. But I'm sure he was in the dream, not really there."
What was the dream about?"
"I don't remember."
"Not even a scrap of it?"
"Not even."
_______

"Before you go away to the university, you'll have to teach me to iron."
Her green eyes sparkled, I swear they did, when something moved or amused her. "Sweetie, I'd no sooner put an iron in your hands than I would a chain saw."
_______

"You could never ruin my life, Malcolm. Why you're the most important and wonderful thing in it."
She never lied. She didn't manipulate people. If she'd been anyone but who she was, I could have looked her in the eye and insisted that I'd commit hara-kiri, even though I knew that I never would. Instead, I stared at the trimmed-off crusts of my toast and tore them into little pieces as I said, "You've go to take the scholarship. You've just got to. It's the best thing ever happened to us."
I heard her put down her fork. After a silence, she said, "I love you, too, Malcolm," and then for another reason entirely, I couldn't meet her eyes. Or speak.
After we cleared the table, after she washed the dishes and I dried them, she said, "Hey let's make oatmeal cookies."
"With chocolate chips and walnuts?"
"For Mom and Dad, we'll make them with chopped anchovies and lima beans, just to see their expressions when they bite into one. The rest with chocolate chips and walnuts. We'll take a plate of them to the new neighbors and introduce ourselves."
_______

The delicious aroma of baking cookies eventually reached the living room, where our mother left the TV long enough to come to the kitchen and say, "Are you making a mess"
"No, ma'am," Amalia said.
"It looks like a mess to me."
"Only while we're baking. It'll all be cleaned up after."
"There's housework that should come before this kind of thing," our mother said.
"I'm ahead of schedule on the housework," Amalia assured her, "now that school is out."
Mother stood just inside the door to the hall, an apparition in her quilted pink housecoat and morning hair, looking mildly confused, as though the task upon which we were engaged must be as mystifying to her as any complex voodoo ritual. Then she said, "I like min with almonds, not walnuts."
"Sure," Amalia said, "we're going to make a batch like that."
"Your father likes the walnuts but not the chocolate chips."
"We're going to make a batch like that, too," Amalia promised.
To me, my mother said, "Have you dropped and broken anything?"
"No, ma'am. I've got it together."
"I like that glass measuring cup. They don't make them like that anymore."
"I'll be careful," I said.
"Be careful with it," she said, as if I'd said nothing, and she went back to the TV in the living room.
Amalia and I baked the cookies. We cleaned up. I didn't break anything. And then we went next door to meet the new neighbors.
_______

Our mother liked nothing more than having a legitimate reason to criticize us. She'd peck and peck and peck at you for the littlest mistake, until you thought she was going to keep at it until you were nothing but bones.
_______

He had been polite; and if he happened to be in his yard when you were in your, he would spend a few minutes in agreeable conversation over the fence. No one considered him aloof or cold, only shy and on occasion melancholy. Some felt that perhaps in his past lay a tragedy with which he had never been able to make his peace, that the only companion with which he felt comfortable was sorrow.
Amalia was somewhat distressed. "Somebody should have cleaned up these dishes and emptied the refrigerator before things in it spoiled. Leaving it like this . . . it's just wrong."
_______

"He said, 'Melinda. Sweet Melinda.'"
"Who said"
"It sounded like Mr. Clockenwall."
When I was younger and my sister was not yet perfect, she had enjoyed spooking me by reporting with great conviction things like, Dad didn't realize I was there, and he took off his face and under it was this lizard face! Or on one occasion, Oh, God, I saw Mom eating live spiders! She was so convincing that I needed about a year to become immune to her bizarre declarations, and for another year I pretended to believe them because it was such fun. Then she became interested in boys and lost interest in scaring me, although I was never so scared by any of her hoaxes as by a couple of the idiot guys she dated; even in those days, however, she was too smart to go out with a psychopathic maniac more than twice.
"Mr. Clockenwall is dead and buried," I reminded her.
"I know he's dead and buried." Holding the plate of cookies with her left hand, she rubbed the back of her neck with the right, as if smoothing away gooseflesh. "Or at least he's dead."
"I'm not nine anymore, sis."
"What's that mean?"
"I know Mom eats only dead spiders."
"I'm not joking with you, Malcolm." As before, she startled and turned, as if toward a voice that I couldn't hear.
"What now?"
"He said it again. 'Sweet Melinda.'"
_______

Bad things happened to good people when invisible men or their equivalent were around.
_______

Forty minutes later, in the kitchen, after we had toted that barge and lifted that bale, as we were peeling carrots and potatoes for dinner, I asked her again, and she said, "Nothing happened."
"Well, something did."
Focused intently on the potato that she was skinning, Amalia said, "Something happened only if one or both of us insists it did. If both of us decide nothing happened, then nothing happened. You know what they say - if a tree falls in the forest and there's no one there to see it, then it didn't fall. Okay, all right, I know that's not how it goes. If a tree falls in the forest and there's no one to hear it, maybe it didn't make a sound. But my version is a logical corollary. Entirely logical. No tree fell in the Clockenwall house, so there was nothing to hear or see. You're twelve, so maybe that doesn't make sense to you, but when you've had a few more years of math and a course in logic, you'll understand. I don't want to talk about it."
"If nothing happened, what is it you don't want to talk about?"
"Exactly," she said.
"Are you scared or something?"
"There's nothing to be scared of. Nothing happened."
"Well, at least now we're talking about it," I said.
She threw a ribbon of potato skin at me, and it stuck to my face, and I said, "Sibling abuse," and she said, "You ain't seen nothin' yet."
_______

. . . I stood listening, but there was only silence so deep that the house might not have been located in the city any longer, might have been enveloped by some bubble in space-time and set adrift in eternity. ...more

The best quality of a short story (be it humor, horror, mystery, drama, sci-fi, or any other genre) is one that leaves a lasting impression and is one that you can come back to and read again to savor the experience. In my opinion, “The Neighbor” is such a story. Dean Koonz’s “The Neighbor”, a prelude to the novel “The City,” is a tale that not only has moments of heart and familial bonding, but also is quite frightening, disturbing, scary, mysterious and intense.
