Summary

The Pendleton stands on the summit of Shadow Hill at the highest point of an old heartland city, a Gilded Age palace built in the late 1800s as a tycoon's dream home. Almost from the beginning, its grandeur has been scarred by episodes of madness, suicide, mass murder, and whispers of things far worse. But since its rechristening in the 1970s as a luxury apartment building, the Pendleton has been at peace. For its fortunate residents - a successful songwriter and her young son, a disgraced ex-senator, a widowed attorney, and a driven money manager among them - the Pendleton's magnificent quarters are a sanctuary, its dark past all but forgotten. But now inexplicable shadows caper across walls, security cameras relay impossible images, phantom voices mutter in strange tongues, not-quite-human figures lurk in the basement, elevators plunge into unknown depths. With each passing hour, a terrifying certainty grows: Whatever drove the Pendleton's past occupants to their unspeakable fates is at work again. Soon, all those within its boundaries will be engulfed by a deadly tide from which few have escaped. Dean Koontz transcends all expectations as he takes readers on a gripping journey to a place where nightmare visions become real-and where a group of singular individuals hold the key to humanity's destiny. Welcome to 77 Shadow Street.

  • In this novel, there's a plethora of characters, maybe even too many for Koontz to fully develop with his usual excellence. Some characters are adequately developed, while others are done better or worse. Unlike his best works, Koontz doesn't focus as much on pseudo-family and relationships (and dogs), but I still found myself more than satisfied. Identifying the primary characters was a bit challenging, but they turned out to be quite interesting. What sets Koontz apart from King, in my opinion, are his sentences. This novel is filled with many noteworthy sentences. While it may not be Koontz's absolute best, it definitely surpasses his average (which is already pretty good). I appreciate the blend of semi-science and semi-politics in the story.
