I have read this book at least ten times. It is my absolute all time favorite.

Crazy book! Dean Koontz is brilliant at writing the latest "nightmare". In this book, a man is afraid to fall asleep because each morning when he wakes up, something strange has happened. One morning, he's covered in blood. Another morning he finds a bag of cash next to him. He finally hires two private investigators to help him. What they uncover shocks them all!

This book is a fast read. I had read it many years ago and decided to re-read it. Although the characters were vaguely familiar, I enjoyed it just as much this time and the last.

This is another of my top 3 favorite Koontz books. Story is excellent with all of my favorite elements - supernatural/sci-fi & suspense! Without giving too much of the story away, Frank's family turns out to all have different supernatural powers. The battle between good and evil comes down to a tired and bewildered man trying to figure out his powers to save people around him from the powers of his brother.

Frank Pollard is afraid to fall asleep. Every morning he awakes, he discovers something strange--like blood on his hands--a bizarre mystery that tortures his soul. Two investigators have been hired to follow the haunted man. But only one person--a young man with Down's syndrome--can imagine where their journeys might end. That terrible place from which no one ever returns...The Bad Place.

Classic Koontz horror story with the weird ending. fun read

Koontz soars beyond the limits of Midnight and his other bestsellers. The principal characters, married detectives Julie and Bobby Dakota, agree to help frightened amnesiac Frank Pollard figure out what he does when he's asleep. (Not only can Frank not remember his past, but he wakes up mornings to find mysterious bags of large-denomination bills by his bed.) In due course, Frank and the Dakotas join forces against murderer Candy Pollard and his weird sisters, who want to kill Frank--evidently the sole human in the monstrous family. Candy extends psychic feelers toward potential victims, emanations that are sensed by Julie's younger brother Thomas. A Down's syndrome child, Thomas is telepathically gifted and able to warn Bobby of the demons who threaten Julie. Horror follows horror with each crime perpetrated by Candy & Co. as they come ever closer to the Dakotas and other prey. Besides episodes of shriek-worthy suspense, the book features out-of-body flights, and data on insects and gems of impossible origins, no less unnatural than the Pollard villains, who could incite envy in Lucifer himself.

This book was good. It started out slowly, but picked up speed so I couldn't put it down. Really good read.

I had to read this in one go because it was so good!

My 86 year old Mom turned me onto Koontz. Go figure! I haven't been sorry that she did.

Exellent Koontz.

Frank Pollard awakens in an alley, knowing nothing but his name and that he is in danger. Over the next few days he develops a fear of sleep because when he wakes he finds blood on his hands and bizarre and terrifying objects in his pockets. Some things are so evil, that death is almost a relief.
