Amazon.com
The lights are on in Snowfield, California, a cozy ski village nestled in the Sierra Madres, but nobody seems to be home. When Dr. Jenny Paige returns to the small town, she finds tables set for dinner, meals being prepared, and music playing in living rooms, but there's no trace of the people who put the water on to boil or set an extra place for company at the dinner table. As she explores the town, Paige finds friends and neighbors felled by a mysterious force--the bodies show no visible signs of violence or disease, and no known plague kills victims before the ice in their dinner drinks has time to melt. But the deep quiet that surrounds her offers few clues about the fate of the town's inhabitants. Dean Koontz's Phantoms strikes fear in readers from the very beginning. The mystery deepens, paving the way for a chilling journey toward the truth. If you plan to catch the film version, starring Ben Affleck and Peter O'Toole, remember that you'll be experiencing this terrifying story in a dark theater. So bring an arm to grab!

This is definately a worthwhile read. With some books I love Koontz, and with others I can't stand him (Intensity--loved him; Fear Nothing--Couldn't stand him.) This is definately a loveable book. He took an interesting take on the history of dissappearing cultures (Roanoke colony, Bermuda Triange, Myan City, etc.) This book definately has it's creepy moment; the two that got under my skin were walking down an alleyway with the feeling of being watched from above and below, and the "sink" scene. Don't judge this novel by the horrible movie that was made based on it; that would be far less than fair. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Phantoms is the first book I've read by Dean Koontz. But I'm sure I'll read more of them, because this is one of the best books I've read. It's very thrilling and fascinating. You never want to put the book down. You want to know what will happen next. I finished this book today and have already bought a new Dean Koontz thriller that I will read as soon as I can. If you like horror thrillers (or any kind of thrillers), you will LOVE this book!

Although the movie was a bomb the book is an excellent read. I was hesitant to watch the movie since most movies tend to ruin a great book. I should have followed my instinct and declined the movie. The movie did so badly at the box office that most people would steer clear of the book. A very bad decision.
The book was longer than an average Koontz book but progressed wonderfully. Koontz is great when it comes to throwing a reader directly into the story. He doesn't deal with the extensive characterization until it's absolutely necessary. Unlike some authors that will take up 300 pages of a 350-page novel to introduce characters who usually die shortly after.
If you've seen the movie and it has left a bad taste in your mouth please give the book a chance. The movie did absolutely nothing for the book so don't base your opinion solely on the movie. Make sure you have plenty of time to sit down and read Phantoms...once you start it will be nearly impossible to put it down.

Phantoms = a cure for insomnia

One of his best! Don't judge by the movie!
Ok, I know you saw the movie Phantoms and thought, "Oh God what a horrible piece of trash, I'm glad I never read the book."
But there you'd be wrong. Lesen Sie weiter...
