Author: Dean Koontz

Strangers is about a disparate group of people who are slowly drawn toward the same place and each other because of one mind-blowing incident. The build-up of suspense is good as the story shifts from one character to another, telling how each is coping and trying to explain to themselves what their strange behaviors mean.

I'm not saying anything else about the plot so I don't give away the story.

I see this as one of the first books where Koontz really broke out of the horror genre and began to get into more of the kind of books he writes now. His use of language and description is superb, and his ability to take you into the minds of his characters, into their feelings, makes it easy to relate to them and care for them. I re-read this book every few years.
