The Other Emily
by Dean Koontz
A multi-layered supernatural thriller
This story is mix of romance, tragedy, mystery, sci-fi, suspense, and the quintessential Koontz science twist. It is ultimately a story of good versus evil but Koontz does such a fantastic job of creating multi-layered characters and storylines that that’s an extreme oversimplification of what this story is. David is an accomplished writer whose long term girlfriend, Emily, disappeared 10 years ago and is presumed a unnamed victim of a serial killer. He is living a two dimensional life since her disappearance but that shifts when he encounters Madison, who looks and acts exactly as Emily did ten years ago at the time of her disappearance. As David tries to solve the mystery of Madison, strange and stranger events begin happening, causing David to try to follow more and more threads trying to make sense of the mystery while the intensity of the story continues to ramp up to its ultimate conclusion. The story includes what you’d expect from this genre - dangerous situations, end of the world scenarios, supernatural creatures, evil masterminds, heroes rising to the challenge, tragic back stories, mystical coincidences, synchronicity, and even some chuckles. Another good story from Koontz.
