FEAR NOTHING

FEAR NOTHING is Dean Koontz at his strangest--a peculiar protagonist is called on to solve a baffling supernatural mystery. The story has considerably more narrative than dialogue, so Keith Szarabajka can read it without having to project a myriad of characters. But when called on to become a character besides the dour hero, Christopher Snow, he does so with relish. He even does a decent dog voice. The setting is the California town of Moonlight Bay, where dead bodies disappear and weird things are happening to the living. Koontz outdid himself in making the town and its creepy--and not so creepy--inhabitants seem real. Still, it's not a place anyone would like to visit.
