Our view

“False Memory” is a tense, imaginative Dean Koontz horror novel that rarely lets the pressure drop. It runs to more than seven hundred and eighty pages of mounting dread. Some readers relish the storytelling but find the prose clumsy at times, its metaphors especially. Readers who like suspense sustained over a long haul are its natural audience.
