Until you find out what the cause of all the deaths is.

It's a rather Lovecraftian letdown. Horror writers seem to have forgotten that "nothing is scarier". If you're going to show or describe the monster in detail, it had better be AMAZING. Otherwise, just hint and suggest. The audience, as individuals, know what is scary to them; and what is scary to you, the author, may not be the same. Let the audience's imaginations do the work.

There, that's my Koontz/King complaint for this thread.

Hello to all, this is my first post.

I teach both Shakespeare and Children's Literature at a Thai university, and naturally I re-read the works I'm teaching. So currently I'm reading King Lear and Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.

The common theme of both works is, of course, that old men with long white beards can be very annoying to deal with.
