Night Chills is a look into the human mind and what drives it. The novel is about an intelligent man named Ogden Salsbury, a misogynist at the same time, who has developed a drug that, when ingested, will allow him to control a person's mind. With the help of multi-millionaire Leonard Dawson he dumps it into a town's water supply. With one simple phrase he can control whoever drank the water's mind.
I was surprised by this book. There are some extremely startling and disturbing scenes such as when Ogden controls a blond woman named Brenda and forces her to masturbate in front of him. There's also the fact that Koontz develops the villains in this novel more than the good guys. And while that was an intriguing aspect it also hurt the story. I felt like I wanted to root for Paul, the novel's "hero". You certainly want Salsbury to pay for all the people he hurt and killed but there wasn't enough characterization of Paul to actually like him.
There is certainly a lot of sexual material in this book concerning rape and will offend, possibly even repulse, many people. However, for those who can handle the material may find it a thought-provoking, albeit flawed, but still interesting novel about the human psyche.

This book was a great read for me. Koontz is my total favorite author. This book was not only captivating, but it sure did keep my attention. The scary part about this book is that almost everything (with the exception of the drug) is true. Subliminal advertising is not a very big part of our lives right now, but could become something very very big in the future. If there's one thing that I learned from this book, it's that technology is not always good. In this case it was abused to the extreme. You have to be a very mature reader to even open this book. The author's prolouge explains it all. Thank you for your time.

As with most of Koontz's books Night Chills has very strong characters that are well contrived. Night Chills is not for the fair at heart because it does dive deep into some of the most horrendous human weaknesses. This book is fast pace and scary. The only disappointment is Koontz should have add 40 to 50 more pages and not had the ending end so abrupt. Even though the ending is not up to Koontz's standards the rest of the book is so good it warrants a 5 start rating. If you like to dive deep into human weakness then Night Chills is for you.

This is the single scariest book I have read
This book scares me still. I read it alone, late at night, in a rambling country house. It had me fearing for my safety. Lesen Sie weiter...

Reality Horror
Many people will tell you that when it comes down to horror novels, reality is always a lot worse. In essence, that is true, and night chills is as realistic as a book can be in my... Lesen Sie weiter...

Couldn't even finish it!
I did not like this book at all! In fact, I stopped reading it about 3/4 of the way thru, when I realized it wasn't getting any better. I would not recommend this book!

Not recomended
I would never ever expect a book like this from Dean. It has an interesting subject. It's about controlling people by their subconscious but the book isn't as good as the subject

At the time I really enjoyed this book, couldn't put it down. But looking back it really wasn't all that great. Lesen Sie weiter...

rather boring
The book, because written in the 70s, seemed rather old fashioned, although the topic of mind-controlling is always actual. Lesen Sie weiter...

Koontz does Laymon
When I read this, I thought it was good, probably because I was reading a lot of Richard Laymon at the time. But thinking back this was a generally crap Koontz novel. Lesen Sie weiter...

Not Koontz's best but good read.
Really, I should give it three and a half stars, but I'm forced to round off. Warning: this is Koontz's most sexually explicit book by a country mile. Lesen Sie weiter...
