Title: My Little Angel - the Antichrist!
Review: Anyone who liked the 1970s 20th Century Fox "Omen" movie series will love this book. It's less overtly supernatural, but equally suspenseful and operating on the same subject.A mad religious cult determines one woman's little boy to be the Antichrist. The boy must die! Needless to say, the boy's mother has a few things to say about that - but, since no one's listening and the cops can hardly watch her twenty-four-seven, she takes the little tyke and goes on the lam. The cultists are rather persistent and sneaky, however, and won't exactly leave her or her son alone...Nice, gritty little piece, which works primarily by use of shifting perspective and manipulation of audience expectations. Koontz's religious cultists are not mere cypher villains, but credibly drawn and even often sympathetic characters.You'd think, though, if they were going to reprint this book, they would have given it a better cover.The T.V. movie isn't as good. Read the book.
