The House at the End of the World by Dean Koontz

Fast and fun suspense thriller. Reminds me of the early books in this author's catalog and I enjoyed it very much.


Everyone who reads Dean Koontz knows that he loves words and tends toward the verbose. The long passages of descriptive prose can get a bit much at times, but I do enjoy his imagination.  Memorable characters and lots of action makes the pages flip faster.


Katie has endured a terrible loss and now lives in a fortified house on her own island retreat. Unfortunately, her hermit-like existence comes to an abrupt end when the secret government research facility located a couple of miles away from her, Ringrock Island, experiences a catastrophic failure that allows a horrible entity to escape. 


Just enjoyed the ride, didn't try to make it political or analyze the text. The story was entertaining even if a bit far-fetched. I always like the way he involves animals in his stories, and this was no exception. All I did was root for the good guys to win! 

This is a standalone and is not part of any series.
Genre - horror, suspense thriller
