Book description
One rain-swept Sunday night when he was twenty years old, Joey Shannon
took the wrong highway - and from that moment, nothing ever went right
for him again. Now, exactly twenty years later, on another rain-swept
night, Joey finds himself at the same crossroads, looking down the road
never taken. Which is odd. Because that road no longer exists. A
superhighway replaced it years ago. But now the highway is exactly as it
was on that long-ago night, and when Joey turns on to it, he begins an
eerie, terrifying journey towards a truth so dark and stunning that it
will change everything that he believes about himself, his past, and the
nature of life. STRANGE HIGHWAYS is breathlessly suspenseful,
disturbing, filled with surprises, as frightening as anything
international bestselling author Dean Koontz has written - and yet it
has a haunting beauty all its own. It is the perfect opening to a large
and varied collection that contains twelve additional novelettes and
short stories that will keep readers awake and fearful for many nights,
along countless strange highways. Dean Koontz was born into a very
poor family and learned early on to escape into fiction. His novels have
sold over 200 million copies worldwide and more than thirty have
appeared on national and international bestseller lists. He lives in
southern California with his wife, Gerda and a vivid imagination.
