Martie Rhodes is a young wife (happily married to Dustin for three years), a video game designer, and a compassionate woman who takes her agoraphobic friend Carol to therapy sessions.  Carol is so afraid of leaving her apartment that the trips are grim ordeals for both women--but bonding experiences as well.

Then one morning Martie experiences a sudden fear of her own, a brief but disquieting terror of...her shadow.  The episode is over so quickly it leaves her shaken, but amused.  Then, as she is about to check her makeup, she realizes she is terrified to look in the mirror and confront her own face.

As the episodes of this traumatic condition --autophobia-- build, the lives of Martie and her husband change drastically.  Frantic to discover the trigger for her descent into hell, Dustin begins to look into the background of a respected therapist.  As he comes closer to the truth about this strange and troubled "healer," Dustin finds himself afflicted with a condition even more bizarre and terrifying than Martie's.

No fan of psychological suspense will want to miss this extraordinary novel of the human mind's capacity to torment...and destroy.

Dean Koontz has always been good at creating interesting, believable, likeable characters; good plots with both suspense and action; and great endings. I think what I found scariest about this book is that it was within the realm of possibility. Doesn't everyone second-guess their own mind occasionally (like when you are trying to remember where you put something that you have lost)?

It's a fear more paralyzing than falling. More terrifying than absolute darkness. More horrifying than anything you can imagine. It's the one fear you cannot escape, no matter where you run...no matter where you hide. It's the fear of yourself. It's real. It can happen to you. And facing it can be deadly.

False Memory

Fear for your mind.
