The episode is over so quickly it leaves her shaken but amused. Then one morning Martie experiences a sudden and inexplicable fear of her own, a fleeting but disquieting terror of.her own shadow. Susan is so afraid of leaving her apartment that even these trips to the doctor's office become ordeals for both women-but with each trip a deeper emotional bond forms between them. Martie Rhodes is a young wife, a successful video game designer, and a compassionate woman who takes her agoraphobic friend, Susan, to therapy sessions.

In this unforgettable novel he weaves a tale of madness, suspense, love, and terror from a startling and true-life psychological condition so close to home it will stun even his most seasoned readers: autophobia-fear of oneself. As anyone who has ever read one of his novels knows, he creates atmospheric settings, believable characters, and all-too-plausible situations through which he explores the terror that we all suspect lurks just out of sight in our ordinary lives. A Dean Koontz novel is not just an unforgettable read-it is a life-changing experience.

Just when you thought he couldn't top himself, Dean Koontz has done it again with a novel that will chill you to the bone and demonstrate why he has earned the distinction 'America's most popular suspense novelist' ( Rolling Stone).
