Book Description:
From the Publisher
Tommy Phan is a successful detective novelist living the American Dream in southern California. One evening he comes home to find a small rag doll on his doorstep. It’s a simple doll, covered entirely in white cloth, with crossed black stitches for the eyes and mouth, and another pair forming an X over the heart. Curious, he brings it inside.
That night Tommy hears an odd popping sound and looks up to see the stitches breaking over the doll’s heart. And in minutes the fabric of Tommy Phan’s reality will be torn apart. Something terrifying emerges from the pristine white cloth, something that will follow Tommy wherever he goes. Something that he can’t destroy. It wants Tommy’s life, and he doesn’t know why. He has only one ally, a beautiful, strangely intuitive waitress he meets by chance—or by a design far beyond his comprehension. He has too many questions, no answers, and very little time. Because the vicious and demonically clever doll has left this warning on Tommy’s computer screen: The deadline is dawn.
Read by B.D. Wong, abridged, 4 cassettes, 5 hours, 45 minutes

Well, I looked in the postings to see what was said in the "details" tab - nothing! This book hasn't been posted in any binding by anyone!
I'll give you a little synopsis of the plot ---
Tommy Phang (OH!!! The narrator of this on is B.D.Wong, the psychiatrist of Law & Order fame) a Vietnames immigrant is trying to escape a home-brewed spell that has gone amok. The story races through a terror-filled night as Tommy and his new friend, Deliverance Payne, try to outsmart a demon bent on murder.
I think the best thing about this audio is B.D. Wong's expert narration! He gives you subtle tempo variations, fluctuations in tone and volume. He manages to keep you riveted to the story as trhe plot unfolds, and carries you on to the conclusion better than any recent "reader" I have listened to.
If you are expecting another Koontz Horror-fest, hold on. This one has comical sprinkles all over it. Something new and different for ol' Koontzy.
I really enjoyed this audi, I think and hope you will as well. Hey, it's not like you're paying the normal $39.95 to listen to it.

Creepy, suspenseful, and with terrific twists!! I loved this book. It abridged by the author, Dean Koontz. It is 6 hours on 4 tapes, and is read by actor B.D. Wong.
