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...

Reviews

[Giulia · Rating 5 out of 5]

Intrigante, crudo ma non troppo, ironico quel tanto che basta per sferzare un racconto che ti mette faccia a faccia con diverse stanze della psiche, anche le più macabre. Koontz mi ha tenuta incollata dalla prima all'ultima pagina. Ho adorato anche le descrizioni concrete e dettagliate anche dei particolari più piccoli. Bello!

Molto bello davvero

[larry100]

Bel libro per intreccio e tratteggio dei personaggi, i personaggi più tormentati sono i più riusciti. Conclusione un pò troppo positiva e forse affrettata, per me, ma bello cmq.
