I feel like even if I re-read this book every year, it will always get a five star from me!
Me costó horrores hacerme que un ejemplar físico de esta obra y al final cayó en mis manos. Todo lo que leía acerca de la historia me invitaba a dejarme seducir por esta narración acerca de los sucesos que se llevaron por delante a la totalidad de los habitantes del pueblo de Snowfield. Y valió la pena la espera.
Desde el momento que entras en las calles, las casas, los comercios de este pueblo; desde que sientes la presencia de algo extraño en la oscuridad, los ruidos o la ausencia de ellos, las voces; desde que aparecen los muertos en su totalidad, o parte de ellos, y te ves incapaz de entender el fenómeno que estás leyendo en esas páginas, estas completamente atrapado y quieres seguir leyendo mas y más y más hasta descubrir el misterio que acabo con la vida de toda esa gente.
Maravillosa historia de terror que ha envejecido bastante bien. Vale la pena el dinero y el tiempo invertido en conseguir leerla.

still on the easy-read, nostalgic kick. too much going on for anything more in-depth.
This book was entertaining in the beginning but then it got into a lot of religious stuff and that just wasn't where I thought the book should go.

This has got to be my second favorite Dean Koontz book (the first is Lightning). What they find in the abandoned town really is terrifying, despite what the movie depicted.

This is one of my rare re-reads. I was pretty young when I first read Phantoms during, what I call, my "King-Koontz era". And I wanted to remember how horror used to be (even though Koontz himself never liked the "horror" label).
It felt great to be able to connect with this book after so many years. I had forgotten pretty much everything, and I really enjoyed it, again. It is a good thriller/horror that grabs you right from the beginning and pulls you at a speed that makes it hard to leave the book aside.
There's no doubt that certain aspects of the story feel like they're from another generation. But Koontz is a great storyteller, and it all goes smoothly.

If you like Stephen King back when he had editors who told him "no", then this will scratch that itch for you and does it fairly well.
Don't know why I powered through it. First and likely last Dean Koontz book. Not badly written. Just not exciting enough to be engaging.
