Winter Moon

by Dean Koontz

In Los Angeles, a hot Hollywood director, high on PCP, turns a city street into a fiery apocalypse. Five die. Heroic LAPD officer Jac McGarvey is badly wounded and lands in the hospital for months, uncertain he'll walk again. While he's out of commission, his wife and young son are left to defend themselves against both the criminals that control an increasingly violent city and the dead director's cult of fanatic fans.

In a lonely corner of Montana, Eduardo Fernandez, the father of McGarvey's murdered partner, witnesses a strange nocturnal sight. The stand of pines outside his house suddenly glows with eerie amber light, and Fernandez senses a watcher in the winter woods. As the seasons change, the very creatures of the forest seem in league with a mysterious presence. Fernandez is caught up in a series of chilling incidents that escalate toward a confrontation that could rob him of his sanity or his life - or both.

As events careen out of control, the McGarvey family is drawn to Fernandez's Montana ranch. In that isolated place they discover their destiny in a terrifying and fiercely suspenseful encounter with a hostile, utterly ruthless, and enigmatic enemy, from which neither the living nor the dead are safe.

[Jay Schutt · Rating 4 out of 5]

Contained some of the most compelling and gripping horror reading that I have ever done. Excellent.

[Louie the Mustache Matos · Rating 2 out of 5]

I think it's interesting that most of my GR friends offer up the same disclaimer about this novel that I will: I LOVE Koontz, but I don't love Winter Moon. I might even say that I don't like this one very much. It really started off like a mesmerizing, cop drama, action-adventure piece but descends into an overly verbose slog after the first two adrenaline-pumping chapters. When something starts at a high octane rush, a drop in the action is expected. It's only natural, but while our supposed main character recuperates in the hospital, supporting characters are supposed to pick up the slack, not bog down the story in an extraneous quagmire of exposition. The middle chapters are boring, because NOTHING happens. In fact, the book could have been the first two chapters and the last two chapters and been a complete story. (A lot shorter, but way better.) At least it wouldn't have been boring. Usually, Koontz says we're going on a ride, and I'm great with it. I'll hop in the van and say take me where you want to, Uncle Dean. This story is so derivative (he even mentions Whitley Strieber in the book) that you could predict the story beats. This is such a disappointment that I felt like doing things that I NEVER do, like skip chapters, or even DNF, but I am way too OCD that I would have finished the book and have to go back and reread it and subject myself to this bore all over again. I will probably never read this short-story-overinflated-into-a-novel again, so take from that what you will. UGH!

[Laura · Rating 3 out of 5]

Inspired by a short novel from 1974 this full length book written 20 years later follows two families one in Los Angeles, the other Montana. Each is confronted with evil. The human kind and supernatural. Not my favorite Koontz novel. I enjoyed his work much more as a younger reader.

[Obsidian · Rating 5 out of 5]

Please note that I gave this book 4.5 stars, but rounded it up to 5 stars on Goodreads.

Well this is old school Koontz and I like it. We did have a golden retriever, but you can't win them all.

"Winter Moon" follows two parallel stories. One of Heather and Jack McGarvey and their young son Toby. And the other follows Eduardo Fernandez. These people have never met, but due to the actions of one, both are going to come face to face with something that is intent on destruction.

Jack is a LAPD patrol officer whose life is changed after responding to a complaint at a gas station. Before he knows what has happened, a seemingly rich man has open fire, shooting him, his partner, and the owner and others. For he and Heather this is just another long line of things that have gone wrong for them in LA.

Eduardo is still grieving the death of his wife three years before and the most recent death of his son who was an LAPD police officer. Living in Montana, in a ranch that was left to him by his dead employer, Eduardo has almost everything he can want. Until one night a light and sound wakens him and he realizes he is not as alone as he thought.

I liked all of the characters very much. I have to say though that I didn't really get Eduardo though. Maybe because my first response to something that freaks me out is to get the hell out as fast as possible. His reasoning for staying and trying to understand what was going on felt a bit false to me as a reader. I think Koontz wanted to keep him there for the story purposes which is fine. But trying to have him handwave it away due to this and him being a hermit, not being believed, felt wrong somehow.

Another character that felt a bit off to me was the character of Toby. He is eight. He also swore around his parents and I almost fell over at that one. Believe me when I say that my parents would have had soap so fast in my mouth it would not have been funny. He also seemed older than his years, though you can explain that by what has happened in his own family, and the fights he endures after his father is shot. So I got it. At least Koontz resisted the urge to have him older than his years and somehow be a super genius (yeah one of these days I am going to do an entire Koontz read and you it will not be pretty).

The writing was great. Koontz can turn a sentence and can instill fear in you in just a few short words. I did notice a few typos here and there (nothing terrible, was was capitalized in a middle of a sentence and another word should have been "and") but nothing that would disturb anyone's reading. Sometimes he got a bit too into explaining guns (which made me think of later books) but other than that everything gelled together nicely.

The setting of LA and Montana stood apart quite differently. These characters in different places both going through such terrible things pretty much showcased how the grass is not always greener.

One thing that did blow me away while reading this is how crazy that this book was written in 1993 and right now the same discussion regarding police officers and guns is going on in this country. I do have to say that I get that there are good and bad police officers out there. Koontz though showcased a world that had gone crazy due to politicians making things easier for those out there to commit crimes and the police having no way to push back against it. The whole thing left me a little bit sour mouthed because I don't believe people are against police officers doing their job. They are against bad cops thinking they are above the law.

[Jim C · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is an early work from Dean Koontz. In this one we have two separate stories that eventually becomes one. One story is about a police officer and his family who reside in Los Angeles. It isn't the safest place to live as crime seems to be everywhere. The second story is about Eduardo who lives in a cabin in Montana. He sees a strange light in the forest and realizes something alien is lurking out there.

This book was a little slow in the beginning as the author took some time to set up the story. I was wondering how these two stories would meld into each other and I liked how the author accomplishes this. When the two stories become one is when the pace quickens and it becomes interesting. I did think the LA story was a little too much of a rant about how sad civilization is and its unfortunate effects on normal people. I liked this book when it concentrated on the actual story. As of the characters, there was nothing special here besides the alien. This antagonist is one of Koontz' scariest and is frightening in its description and its actions.

I would classify this novel as a science fiction novel mixed with horror. There are parts that are truly scary and the remote setting added to the scenario. This book isn't the author's best work but it is worth a read and one gets his usual trademarks like good versus evil. Also, what would a Dean Koontz book be without a dog as a character.

[Craig · Rating 3 out of 5]

Winter Moon is an expansion of Invasion, a science fiction novel that Koontz wrote under the pen name Aaron Wolfe which was published in 1975 by Roger Elwood's Laser Books with a cool and quirky colorful cover painted by Kelly Freas. He more than doubled the length of the original and added a big dollop of horror and suspense elements and turned it into a more conventional, contemporary, somewhat generic Dean Koontz novel. It's much more slowly paced and much more descriptive... I go against the grain by liking the original much more than the newer version (which has a kind of boring cover of a vaguely menacing Moon peeking through some clouds, which well represents the difference to me). Winter Moon is a fine and standard Koontz story (yep, there's a dog), but Invasion was a fun and quick read with much more energy and enthusiasm. Or, as has been said, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

[Sue Gerhardt Griffiths · Rating 4 out of 5]

The first time I read a Dean Koontz novel was under his pseudonym, Leigh Nichols, it was many years ago but I remember that it was an excellent spine-tingling, suspenseful book and Winter Moon was no different. Dean Koontz knows how to instil fear in the reader, from the first page of Winter Moon the terror escalates little by little until the last few pages and then BOOM the tension builds faster and faster. I was on tenterhooks from beginning to end. Loved this book. I finished it a few hours ago and I'm still shaking in my boots.

Looking forward to reading other novels by Dean Koontz and am very interested in reading some of his current works.

"Its very existence was offensive. That it could be seemed proof that the universe was a madhouse, full of worlds without meaning and bright galaxies without pattern or purpose."

[Dustin the wind Crazy little brown owl · Rating 5 out of 5]

One of Dean Koontz's most overlooked books. If you like Strangers, Cold Fire and the Taking, you will most likely enjoy Winter Moon - set mainly in Big Sky Country Montana :-)

[Maciek · Rating 2 out of 5]

There's not much going on in Winter Moon. It's pretty slow paced and not particularly well written. The book is divided into two parts - The first is pretty much Koontz's condemnation of modern American society and you'll get to learn what he thinks of universities, graffiti artists, gun control laws, the film industry, heavy metal music and a bunch of other subjects (surprise - he hates them all). It's pretty much sensless babble which doesn't add much to the plot, except for irritation. The characters are bland as almost all of Koontz's creations - we have the standard ideal male, heroic and faithful, the strong, supportive female and an innocent child. The dialogue is just as cardboard as the characters, and is pretty much Koontz's standard witty banter - because according to Dean all couples do nothing but share crappy witticism 24/7.

Part two is more interesting, but is still loaded with much unnecessary exposition, meaning the page long descriptions of guns. Because apparently the best way to fight an adversary whom you haven't seen is to stock your home with guns of all sorts and hope for the best - Michael Bay would have a blast filming this. But don't you worry; after learning all about weapons our heroes posess the adversary of course will be defeated (it's a Dean Koontz book, seriously, what did you expect?) with a help from totally random character who rushes to help our heroes without any sort of doubt or hesitation whatsoever. Doh! Not that the adversary is particularly interesting in any way.

Overall, I wouldn't really recommend Winter Moon to anyone. It rehashes themes from his earlier works - the cop from Dragon Tears, mystical adversary from Phantoms and guns hidden around the house from Watchers and Lightning. Heavily flavoured with traditional Koontz sermonizing (why doesn't he just start his own party?) it's not a very suspenseful or entertaining read, but if you're stranded on a desert island with a copy I guess you could have turned out much worse - I mean you can always start a fire with it, right?

[Carol · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love Dean Koontz's books because you just never know what his rich imagination is going to come up with...but whatever it is it's always a huge surprise. This is one of the scariest books that he's written in all of the years I have had the pleasure of reading his works. Usually there is a suspenseful story with some horror moments thrown in....this one has a dark undertone with both gory and psychological horror from the start to finish.

The book is actually two stories in parallel... Jack McGarvey, a cop, and his family in Los Angeles, and Eduardo Fernandez...Jack's deceased partner's father who lives on a ranch in Montana. Sometimes these two part stories clash and go off in different directions but Dean Koontz has managed to bring them together clean and neatly into an explosive ending. Anyone that is a fan of horror and the supernatural will want to make friends with not only this book... but the rest of this author's offerings.

[Mike (the Paladin) · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a pretty good book (despite what some others think :) Hi Maciek...we can't agree on everything LOl). I don't know if I'd call it one of the author's best he has a pretty wide swing in that area. Some I don't care for much at all, others I like very much, so... I give this one 3 stars as, my hands are a bit tied. With such a wide swing in the way I feel about the books if I give one I like a lot a "4" because it's not quite a "5" what do i do with the ones I don't quite like that much? This would maybe be a 3.5, if we had half stars.

The story is fair and not badly written, the story telling is again "pretty good" and I liked it. You will recognize the characters, they are sort of "types". The story is even a "type" as you'll have seen it's like before if you've read much Koontz (as a matter of fact this is an updated version of a book titled "Invasion" that Koontz released under a pseudonym). The two stories seemingly running side by side till they meet is something he's done before.

Compared to some of Koontz "worst" this is fantastic but compared to his best it's only okay. I won't list titles as what I think are his best are not always the titles others think are his best (go figure). Try this one yourself. See what you think. Mundane threats meet otherworldly threats... Koontz actually does this combination rather well.

[Dimitar Jovanovski · Rating 4 out of 5]

The writing was great. Although it was suspense rather than horror, Koontz can turn a sentence and can instill fear in you in just a few short words. I couldn't stop reading some parts. I found the first half more engaging than the second, largely because the dark presence was more convincingly spooky before it was actually revealed, and ultimately the ending was a little simple and the climax seemed to last forever.

However, this book is good for fun. I wouldn't say that this is the best from Koontz but far far better from some other books he has written (especially later in his career).

[Mayve · Rating 4 out of 5]

**CAUTION - CONTAINS SPOILERS!***(as written on date read)

Brief Summary: A cop finds himself the heir to a ranch in the middle of Montana of where the previous owner had seen and heard weird occurances in the woods behind shortly before his untimely death.


The book started out good. Lots of suspense. It was the classic Koontz in action giving Mr. King a run for his money. First, the odd things happening in the middle of the woods. Then the fear of the unknown and evil.

Described excellently, you felt how isolated the intro character was, how scared and "real" he was even when inside his own home... the big mansion... all to himself... he was not safe. All the elements of House on Haunted Hill, Rose Madder, Pet Sematary, and the Raven (the dead come back, but they don't come back right dealio) all bundled in one.

I was almost afraid to finish the book being the 'fraidy cat that I am. But, the main characters arrived. Suddenly, the mansion was just a mansion with it's only a prominent scary back stairwell to the kitchen. The evil "thing" in the woods was now only a crow that either kept following the family around or was trying communicating to them through dreams and radiowaves. Ooooo. I'm scared. The real "thing" was just as bad... or at least how it was described.

It's almost as if there were 2 different authors writing this book or maybe its because Koontz was interrupted when writing this book and picked it back up a year later, the momentum completely lost.... Or Koontz simply lost interest in the story itself and finished it just to fulfill a contract. Koontz can and has written better stuff than this.

Simply put, it's great foreplay only to when you get to the sex and it was just "ok." (There was a climax, honey, really! Can't you tell?)

[Julie Powell · Rating 5 out of 5]

I always enjoy Dean Koontz's stories. I love the writing, the style, the characters, the dialogue and of course the plot. This was no exception with both gory and psychological horror, but not for the sake of it. I don't like gore but this author's stories demand it in places and it's done extremely well.

Not as many typos/spelling mistakes/grammatical errors as the recently read Whispers, but I was still amazed at the amount considering those expensive and smug eyes that continually put down independent authors - errors being one of the reasons.

However, a fab read, leaving Dean Koontz my all time favourite storyteller.

[Kevinreadstoomuch · Rating 5 out of 5]

Underrated! Highly recommended for horror/Koontz fans!
This is Koontz scariest boook that i've come across in the twenty or so i've read by him. Usually, Koontz writes a mostly suspensful story with some horror moments here and there. This book is the prime example of writing with a dark undertone throughout the story, giving you the feeling that something bad is going to happen.
My real rating for this book is four and a half stars, only because the first half of the book, the first story line is okay at best.
However, the storyline which involves "Eduardo" is fantastic, creepy, and Koontz's best work in the horror genre in my opinion. I debated putting this book down in the beginning when the cops have a shooot-out (too simliair to "Dragon Tears" which i had recently read before it) but i was pleased with the overall story.
Underappreciated big-time in my opinion, and if you really want to know the answer to the question "Can Koontz scare me?" then read this and you shall be satisfied!

[La loca de los libros · Rating 4 out of 5]

Una lectura muy entretenida, es muy amena y tiene momentos realmente escalofriantes, que es justo lo que estaba buscando al escoger ésta novela. Es un autor al que me encanta volver cada cierto tiempo para pasar un mal rato, junto con Stephen King. Por ponerle una pega.... el final lo he sentido muy precipitado, la atmósfera que había mantenido de desconcierto en casi la totalidad de la novela y que hacía que me quedara pegada a sus páginas, se desinfla muy rápido al llegar a las últimas cien páginas y se convierte en una peli de serie B con todos los tópicos que ello conlleva. Algunas cositas de la trama están muy cogidas con pinzas y le restaban verosimilitud, pero como lectura para pasar el rato la recomiendo sin duda. Lo mejor es no saber nada de la novela porque es lo que hace que mantengas la intriga, así que adelante con ella para los amantes del género, es un autor de cabecera

[Nemo ☠️ (pagesandprozac) · Rating 1 out of 5]

Koontz is a good writer, and I like some of his books, but there's just something fundamentally off in my personal opinion. I hate the fact that his bad guys are cookie-cutter bad guys, and that his good guys are cookie-cutter good guys, and that he batters us over the head with whatever moral message he wants to deploy. It's a testament to how fucking good of a writer he is that I've been willing to overlook this with the three previous Koontz books I've read, but this one? Fucking unreadable. I've only reached a third of the way in but I'm so irritated I do not wish to continue.

I bought a dozen Koontz books because they had a massive discount and I have zero self control. I'll definitely be revisiting Koontz with the eight other paperbacks I currently have, but for the moment, I think I need a break.

Great first half and then I really stopped caring.

[Mary · Rating 4 out of 5]

This Koontz book has suspense, horror and some sci=fi. It is written in three parts --connected, of course, but rather loosely. My favorites were the first and second parts. The first was great Koontz, choosing every word precisely to create a scene of action and the horror that man can do to man (this time with the help of recreational drugs). The scene folds out fast yet in slow motion with guns, fires explosions building and leaving innocents dead along with a police officer. The other policeman is badly injured and will take months in the hospital and rehab to heal and walk again. Koontz manages to bring the civilization that we now live in as part of the cause for this horror and the aftermath. One woman left alone and the other with a child that she is on edge to protect while her husband is recovering.

The second part was my favorite. It follows an old man who has worked hard all his life and is the only surviving member of his family. He is alone and uses work, books, several beers a day, and daily routine to keep him from succumbing to loneliness. He lives on a ranch that was given to him and his wife when the owner died. It is in Montana and the man, Eduardo rarely leaves except for supplies. Soon, in his story, he begins to notice strange things--a deeper darkness to an area behind his house from which strong vibrations and noises come from. He is a strong, brave man and explores it, finding that it has no end when he places his hand and them arm inside. They just disappear. He is frightened but continues to explore this oddness night after night and decides it is an alien of some sort. Next, come the familiar animals but that have a new boldness about them and sit for hours just staring at him. Some act strangely as if rabid. He finally takes several into the vet...autopsies are done and nothing is found except increased pressure in their brains. Eduardo goes home and continues with his solitary life. His bravery and strength continue but fear is creeping in. He does succumb and without telling more, he dies of a heart attack. This was my favorite part of the book as Koontz builds the character and I come to respect and like Eduardo.

The third part of this book has the policeman and his family coming to live on the ranch. They are peaceful and happy at first before they also begin dealing with the strange things going on. This part of the book I found somewhat predictable and after the Eduardo character it just did not hold my attention in the same way. The monster part was wearing thin as well. But it did keep my interest. I was eager to see what the ending would be and finished but without satisfaction.

[Alistair Cross · Rating 4 out of 5]

Winter Moon, Dean Koontz, 1994 (originally titled “Invasion” under the pseudonym, Aaron Wolfe, in 1975) I like “Winter Moon” way better than “Invasion”

My favorite quote: “Maybe when all was said and done, the imagination was the most powerful of all weapons.” Yeah, I dig that

Notable characters: Jack McGarvey, the cop; Eduardo Fernandez; the father of Jack’s late partner; the Giver, a dangerous and mysterious being

Most memorable scene: The rise of the corpses. That part is Dean Koontz at his horror-iest, and I love it

Greatest strengths: Even beyond the rise of the corpses, Winter Moon has some serious creep factor. When Dean Koontz sets his mind to it, he can really get spooky, if not downright terrifying. I like that about him

Standout achievements: Winter Moon has some of the best horror scenes you’ll ever read — not just in other Dean Koontz books but all around. It makes me wonder if he toned down the horror a little when he ‘became’ Dean Koontz. Like, maybe the Aaron Wolfe pseudonym brought out the gruesome in him

Fun Facts: Aaron Wolfe is just one of several Dean Koontz used to write under. His other nom de plumes include Owen West, David Axton, Leigh Nichols, Deanna Dwyer, and Brian Coffey. And, of course, the most famous one of all: Dean Koontz

Other media: N/A

What it taught me: Winter Moon proves that even books containing elements of sci-fi (which is my least favorite genre outside of Westerns) have their place … as long as they’re really horror-y, that is. Then again, Dean Koontz frequently gets sci-fi-ish and I don’t usually mind. Apparently, he’s just really good at it

How it inspired me: While Winter Moon isn’t exactly a story about zombies, per se, it has some of the goriest, most gruesome depictions of the walking dead out there. Seriously. It made me want to write a zombie novel, and I’m not even into that. Thanks, Dean Koontz. Now I have to think about that …

Additional thoughts: Anyone who knows me knows I have a love/hate relationship with Dean Koontz. For me, his work tends to either blow me away or leave me cold. Sometimes, it even irritates me. This one, though, Winter Moon, is a solid example of why I love him when I do. Winter Moon encapsulates everything I want when I’m reading Koontz

Not a large number of characters to follow - good. Plot sounds simple what to do when your child is controlling a "spirit"?
Harlan McGarvey inherits a dead partner's dad farm (Tommy Fernadez). Heater McGarvey (wife), Toby (son) & Falstaf (their dog) move to the Quartermass Farm/Ranch in Eagle Roast, Montana. A good portion shows Toby can control a monster/spirit, the "Giver" (in some scenes, just by sitting on him), but then must explain/show his parents. McGarvey's family escape from the Ranch/The "Giver" is described & unreasonable with fire usage.
During the book, some dead characters reappear, as spirits, but not in the escape. I select as a thriller as it focuses on Toby's thriller escapes more than the Giver's horror?

Terrifying, but I couldn't put it down. This is my favorite author yet, somehow, I missed this older book. I was surprised by the change in style. His writing has really evolved over the years and I never miss a new book.
