Book Description
================
This collection includes a new novel along with previously published 
novellas and short stories.


Koontz isn't a horror novelist, even though he's been cast in that role. 
He's called the Master of SUSPENSE, and for a reason: his tales are 
downright suspenseful (the mold for other novelists) even if they usually 
don't use the element of horror.

But in this collection, Dean Koontz delivers several short stories that 
contemplate and expertly acheive horror genre greatness.

The title story (actually, it's a novel) is about a man who returns 
home...then is forced to face the demons of his past, who have come 
back to haunt him. "Kittens," Koontz's first published work of fiction, 
is about a little girl who decides to get revenge on her parents.

"The Black Pumpkin," along similar lines, is about a little boy ostracized 
from his own family. "Miss Atilla the Hun," "We Three," and "The Night 
of the Storm" are brilliant sci-fi pieces (from Koontz's old days of 
writing science fiction), while "Trapped" follows a similar vein as 
Koontz's pinnacle novel "Watchers".

"Bruno" is a flat-out hilarious sci-fi farse, while "Hardshell" (the 
first piece of fiction I read by Koontz) is about a cop hunting down 
a killer who is a little different. "Snatcher" is a journey into the 
macabre, while "Twilight of the Dawn" is a moving tale of a man's search 
for faith and guidance.

"Strange Highways" is not so strange at all; it's great fiction by a 
masterful writer. Dean Koontz is without a doubt one of the best writers 
of all time. That statement may sound a little exaggerated, if you haven't 
read any of his work. If you read something by him, though, you'll know 
what I mean. Why not start here, with "Strange Highways"? It's diverse, 
and it shows you what this man can do--and do well. 


Uploaders Note
==============
According to Amazon, the "Strange Highways" fiction collection is 624 
pages long,  but this audiobook is only 5.5 hours long - it seems to 
be just the "Strange Highways" novella itself without the short fiction 
pieces.
