    • Tout avait commencé par un dimanche ensoleillé de février. Ce jour-là, la mort vint soudain ricaner au nez du petit Joey, sous les traits d'une vieille femme aux cheveux gris, au visage blafard, aux yeux glauques. "Il faut qu'il MEURE!" criait-elle d'une voix haineuse. Puis le chien du gamin fut massacré tandis que Joey et sa mère échappaient de justesse à un attentat. Car la secte tout entière, fanatisée par la vieille folle, était à leurs trousses. Traque infernale dans le cadre glacial des montagnes du Nevada. Avec pour gibier Joey, Antéchrist descendu sur terre pour semer la violence et la désolation. Et si, après tout, Joey n'était pas un petit garçon tout à fait comme les autres ?

    • For the first time, three bestselling novels by Dean Koontz—The Servants of Twilight, Darkfall, and Phantoms—are available in a single hardcover volume. Koontz's spine-chilling tales revolve around ordinary people thrust into nightmarish situations. While his stories explore the "dark side," they ultimately reveal the triumph of good over evil, ensuring that readers are captivated from start to finish. Each novel takes you on an unpredictable journey, keeping you on the edge of your seat. In The Servants of Twilight, a chance encounter in a Southern California parking lot leads a mother and son into a terrifying nightmare as she fights to protect her child from relentless threats. Darkfall unfolds in a city paralyzed by a blizzard, where something sinister watches and stalks its prey, creating one of the most intense chase scenes ever. In Phantoms, a small mountain town in California appears abandoned, but the discovery of a body reveals a horrifying truth: one hundred fifty are dead and three hundred fifty are missing, signaling that the terror has only just begun. These three masterful suspense novels promise to keep readers engrossed until the final page, making it impossible to turn back once you dive into a Dean Koontz story.

Realising she is on to the biggest story of her life, Holly traces Jim to California. He insists he is not a psychic; he simply believes God is working through him. Holly thinks his explanation is too easy, that there is no wonder in life, no great mystery. She is dead wrong. For she and Jim are soon plunged into a dark sea of wonder, mystery - and stark terror. And, on the run for their lives, they will be forced to confront a savage and uncannily powerful adversary...
