Our view

“Strangers” is a long, ambitious Dean Koontz horror novel of almost seven hundred pages. Some readers are drawn in by its opening, built on night terrors and buried memories that tie its characters together, but feel let down by where the story goes. Others count it as the first Koontz novel that truly won them over.
