About this Item

G. P. Putnam s Sons, New York, 1977, first edition, review copy. One of the horror master s earliest hardcover books and with a theme that he has used again and again from the blurb Here is a powerful, breathtaking story about a gifted woman, a psychopathic killer who wants her, and a terror that pursues her down the corridors of time. The Vision is many things. A riveting thriller. A love story. The odyssey of a weak woman who becomes strong. A story about the nature of evil. Inserted into the book are the review slip and a photo of a dark, brooding, young Koontz. This book, 287 pages, is in very good condition in a very good dust jacket, that is now in a protective mylar wrap. A very acceptable copy of an early Koontz work.

About this title

Synopsis

Mary Bergen is a clairvoyant, able to forsee murders that will happen in the near future, but unable to prevent them from taking place.

And now she is up against a power that is stronger than her own, a power that is taking her over, a power that is trying to kill her before she can identify it...

Review

"Spine-tingling--it gives you an almost lethal shock."--San Francisco Chronicle

"The tension never lets up...a nail-biting, hair-raising finale!"--Florida Times-Union

More Praise for Dean Koontz

"Dean Koontz is a prose stylist whose lyricism heightens malevolence and tension. [He creates] characters of unusual richness and depth."--The Seattle Times

"Tumbling, hallucinogenic prose....'Serious' writers...might do well to examine his technique."--The New York Times Book Review

"Lyrical writing and compelling characters...Koontz stands alone."--Associated Press

"In every industry there exist 'artists' that are not only unforgettable, but know their craft better than the rest. Dean Koontz...is among these artisans."--Suspense Magazine

"[Koontz] has always had near-Dickensian powers of description, and an ability to yank us from one page to the next that few novelists can match."--Los Angeles Times

"Perhaps more than any other author, Koontz writes fiction perfectly suited to the mood of America...novels that acknowledge the reality and tenacity of evil but also the power of good...[and that] entertain vastly as they uplift."--Publishers Weekly
