A writer in California. A doctor in Boston. A motel owner and his employee in Nevada. A priest in Chicago. A robber in New York. A little girl in Las Vegas. They’re a handful of people from across the country, living through eerie variations of the same nightmare.
A dark memory is calling out to them. And soon they will be drawn together, deep in the heart of a sprawling desert, where the terrifying truth awaits...

5By What house?My husband and I read it at the same time and could not put it down. Keeping track of the characters was a bit difficult, as you were reading about one, and the next you know it went elsewhere.Stands the test of time
5By 2001MusicManI first read this book many (many) years ago and considered it one of the best (and certainly the most human) books I had ever read. That opinion did not change after my recent reread.Top notch. Left me wanting more.
4By PaladinsoftIt’s probably the sign of a good book that it leaves you wanting more. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I loved the well~developed characters and the plot kept me up way too late over a few nights. I feel like the book needed an epilogue. Given it’s already prodigious length, I understand why it’s missing, but I felt the book ended abruptly, and left me wanting to know what happens next for the characters. Still, it’s a fine read and I highly recommend it.Excellent read
5By michele6533799422Great book, I feel like I have new friends after reading about these charactersStrangers
5By NoBrainerToMeKoontz was masterful again with his story telling. This book has wonderful characters including a Norwegian looking Jewish woman that speaks fluent Yiddish. It encompasses many detailed subjects including religion, government conspiracies, telekinesis, brain washing, hypnosis, only to name a few. The only problem I had with the book is I found myself taping pictures to my walls and ceilings of a golden retriever named Trixie, but thru hypnosis I found that I had a latent memory of a blond girl with the same name that brushed me with her silken hair and liked to lick my face. Read the book and you will see why I came up with this ridiculous Koontz humor..Best book ever!
5By Jen SefI am an avid reader. I have probably read 10,000 books in my lifetime so far. By far, my FAVORITE ever!LOVE Koontz!!
5By Princess 27I truly enjoyed reading Strangers, Koontz writing is a joy to read. The detailing and the familiarity with his characters that I feel are amazing. If you enjoyed this one try his Odd Thomas series I was truly and deeply saddened when that series ended... He keeps you on the edge of your seat while weaving your emotions into the characters in the book... GREAT!!!!Good read
4By tinytina521I really enjoyed this book, the author took the time to develop the set of characters and their relationships but I was left wanting by the lack loose ends being tied. Epilogue maybe? But otherwise a great story.Deanlicious Reading
5By mathoholicLoved the book! Engrossing story and characters. I would have liked an epilogue but still well worth the time and money spent!My favorite
5By Betbull8I have read everything that Koontz has written and this book is wonderful! It is hard to call it my favorite because I love so many of his books but this is one that I have certainly read more than once and will, I am sure, read again!
