Negative Positive
Title: Great early Koontz
Review: This is a great story, even decades after being written. Graham, an ex-mountain climber, fear-filled after a serious accident, has developed psychic powers. Show-casing his talent on tv by identifying a demonic serial killer, he becomes the targeted next victim. More suspense than horror, our hero has to battle this sicko with his wits and overcome his fear as he and his girlfriend are stalked in deserted office building. No power, no phone, only his mountaineering skills and luck and one really mean crazy with a gun determined not to give up. I just had to stay up late and find out what happens. Interesting description of climbing technique and a strong sense of place, New York city in a snow storm. Some of the characterizations were weak, but a bit of a twist at the end adds some spice. Guaranteed to keep you flipping through the pages, hanging on a the same imaginary ledge with the hero, praying for the happy ending.
