Goodreads asked Dean Koontz:

What are you currently working on?

Dean Koontz Something’s stuck between two of my teeth, but I’ll eventually get it. As to books: I’m working on a story about a woman, 33, who is now in Santa Fe but lived on a Montana ranch until she was 9. She starts to have strange dreams about events from those days, involving a boy who was frightening to look at because of facial deformities but is in fact benign and her secret friend. She has no memories of such a boy and thinks he’s a figment of her dreams. When she discovers he was in fact real, and when she gets messages begging her to return to the ranch——“only you can help me”——she goes back to Montana to discover the truth of her past and to see if she can find the boy. She’s going to find far more than the boy, much of it terrifying. There are so many twists and turns, every time I move the story through one, I sit here and chuckle like a sinister super villain.
