Book description
I have been one acquainted with the night. Christopher Snow is
athletic, handsome enough, intelligent, romantic, funny. But his whole
life has been affected by xeroderma pigmentosum, a rare genetic disorder
that means his skin and eyes cannot be exposed to sunlight. Like all
Xpers, Chris lives at night - and has never ventured beyond his hometown
of Moonlight Bay, a place of picturesque beauty and haunting
strangeness; he knows it as no one else can possibly know it, is
intimate with its shadows and darkest hours. Despite the limitations
imposed by nature, he has always been determined to lead the fullest
life and, with the help of family and friends, he has on the whole
succeeded. But for Chris - and all the inhabitants of Moonlight Bay - a
terrible change is about to happen; a change of potentially catastrophic
proportions. 'Koontz's art is making the reader believe the
