NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Every city has its wonders and mysteries. For the Pomerantz family, the most disturbing mystery at the moment is the identity and the intentions of their new neighbor, in this eBook original short story - a prequel to The City, the gripping and moving new novel by Dean Koontz.

The year is 1967. Malcolm Pomerantz is twelve, geeky and socially awkward, while his seriously bright sister, Amalia, is spirited and beautiful. Each is the other's best friend, united by a boundless interest in the world beyond their dysfunctional parents' unhappy home. But even the troubled Pomerantz household will seem to be a haven compared to the house next door, after an enigmatic and very secretive new neighbor takes up residence in the darkest hours of the night.

Convincing narrative

Dean Koontz has a way of writing from a very lonely point of view. In this case it really serves to build up the creep factor!
I enjoyed this story very much!

Great short story! Very creepy!

I was just getting involved when it was OVER. The book was way too short.

Too short

I was not impressed. I've given this guy a chance so many times. The only thing I like about him is the beginning scene of The Taking. This short story isn't really a vivid story. I'm still confused and it's over. I don't get the point of this story.

Weak Short Story

Great short story. Depth and dimension of the evil neighbor could have been fleshed out. How didi it possess the boy to reach his sister. would like more stories about Amalya.

possessed by evil

Pay cash, don't use a credit. A very short prequel to The City (which I found OK, but not great). This is an OK short story with some of the tone and characters of classic Koontz, but it is very short (1 hour) with little time for development and lacking the kick that a great short story needs. If you read everything Koontz writes, like I do, then you may very mildly and very briefly enjoy this book. If not, it is definitely skipable.

Short and OK

I didn't realize this is a short story. It's a decent read after listing to "The City" but it wasn't worth one credit.

Too short

Great short story! Kept me til the end! Would definitely recommend it to anyone! Captivating!

Gave me goosebumps!
