Synopsis

If you delight in the suspense of Stephen King and Harlan Coben, you'll love Phantoms - a classic thriller by Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling author Dean Koontz.

Yesterday Snowfield, California, was a charming little town basking in the golden afternoon sun. Today it is a place of nightmare.

An ancient, awesome force has spirited away almost the entire population of the town and left the bodies of those remaining bizarrely disfigured. What hope can there be for the few still left alive...?
