False Memory

by Dean Koontz

Imagine being scared of your own shadow...

False Memory is a chilling thriller of shadows, darkness and the mind. Perfect for fans of Stephen King and Richard Laymon.

Martie Rhodes, a happily married, successful video games designer, takes an agoraphobic friend to therapy sessions twice a week. Each trip is a grim ordeal, but the experience has brought the two friends even closer together.

Then, one morning, Martie experiences a brief, irrational but disquieting fear of... her shadow. When autophobia - one of the rarest and most intriguing phobias known to psychology - is diagnosed, suddenly, radically, her life changes, and her future looks dark.

Martie's husband, Dusty, loves her profoundly, and is desperate to understand the cause of her autophobia. But as he comes closer to the terrible truth, Dusty himself starts showing signs of a psychological disorder even more frightening than that afflicting Martie...

[Lina · Rating 4 out of 5]

Manche stellen fand ich bißchen eklig/brutal. Aber diese hielten sich zum glück in Grenzen, ansonsten ein super spannendes buch, konnte es am ende kaum weglegen und habe mich sehr schnell sehr gut an die Personen gewöhnt, eigentlich schade das es schon zu Ende ist. Es hatte aber ein happy end was mich auch sehr glücklich gemacht hat.
