It’s hard to have a list of Dean Koontz’s best books without including Watchers – his 1987 novel which helped to push him further toward global success. Phantoms was adapted into a 1998 movie starring Peter O’Toole, Rose McGowan, Liev Schreiber, and Ben Affleck. The sum result is a thrilling page-turner that still stands among Koontz’s finer literary moments. Lovecraft when writing this novel (which is also based on the now-debunked urban legend of a vanishing village). Phantoms is a delightfully scary read that is, personally, one of the best Dean Koontz books I’ve ever read. However, this confusion descends to horror when one of the victims leaves them a name from beyond the grave… What could have caused this?ĭetermined to get to the bottom of the mystery, the sisters enlist the help of the military’s Biological Investigation Unit, who are just as baffled. Then, dead bodies start turning up and it soon becomes clear that all the town’s inhabitants are either deceased or missing. Phantoms follows two sisters, Jenny and Lisa Paige, as they return to Jenny’s hometown – only to find it seemingly abandoned. I’m kicking off this list with Phantoms, one of Koontz’s earlier and most widely enjoyed works.
