Watchers by Dean Koontz
4.0

This is only my second Dean Koontz novel, but he has become a favorite. I have steered clear of horror for over 20 years - no more Stephen King for me. This is one of Koontz's early novels and it was apparent to me that it was set at least a couple of decades ago because of telling details like characters depending on pay phones to reach people. The story revolves around a runaway golden lab, and another creature on the run who is viciously killing people.

As a dog lover (who doesn't own a dog), I was very taken by the story of Einstein, the golden lab. The human characters were less captivating. But Koontz creates a compelling horror thriller that kept me engaged.
