About this listen

Tommy Phan is a successful detective novelist living the American dream in Southern California. One evening he comes home to find a small rag doll on his doorstep. It’s a simple doll, covered entirely in white cloth, with crossed black stitches for the eyes and mouth, and another pair forming an X over the heart. Curious, he brings it inside.

That night Tommy hears an odd popping sound and looks up to see the stitches breaking over the doll’s heart. And in minutes the fabric of Tommy Phan’s reality will be torn apart. Something terrifying emerges from the pristine white cloth, something that will follow Tommy wherever he goes. Something that he can’t destroy. It wants Tommy’s life, and he doesn’t know why. He has only one ally, a beautiful, strangely intuitive waitress he meets by chance - or by a design far beyond his comprehension. He has too many questions, no answers, and very little time. Because the vicious and demonically clever doll has left this warning on Tommy’s computer screen: The deadline is dawn.

Started out quite creepy/spooky before it turned humorous. The female protagonist was unpredictable and funny. Nothing is quite as it seems. Good story and I hate spoilers so I won't say more except I recommend it for adults (a bit of it is not really acceptable for kids...in my opinion).
Get it. It was fun and spooky all in one.

NOT what I expected!

I'm used to riveting "Wow!" endings to Dean Koontz novels, but this one was a little obvious and kind of plain. It was a good time filler, but not his best.

Just ok

I read this way back in the 80s and loved listening to the audio book. Del & Scootie are the best.

One of my favorites

Story is pretty weak. The last chapter is ridiculous. Boring and ridiculous is almost enough words.

Lame story
