As most Koontz novels, Twilight Eyes ( )

Review: Twilight Eyes by Dean Koontz. 4.5* 06/14/2022

Dean Koontz has captured my interest once again, He is a great writer and this time he takes the reader down the path of “goblins”. His characters all overwhelmed me in a great way. It’s a story about a drifter; Slim MacKenzie’s comes across a traveling carnival and joins them as they move on. One thing about Slim is he has psychic gift, a curse he was born with. He can see monsters that are hidden among the human society.

Slim sees them as goblins wearing disguises, looking and acting like human beings and he soon finds out that the goblins are everywhere. Koontz horror elements are very effective and it flows smoothly within the context of the story.

Koontz also has a great well developed cast of characters. Some are disgusting, frightening, cunning, and harmful and leaves nothing out describing them. Koontz was also very professional with their personalities. ( )

A re-read as part of a book clearance. When I started this, I couldn’t even recall reading it the first time around. The author rarely writes in first person, and perhaps this is why. The idea of someone with a second sight which allows them to see the ‘goblins’ among us starts off well, and overall is a decent book. Alas, it feels as though it goes on too long within a few pages, possibly to the sometimes enjoyable, sometimes eye-glazing descriptions. There are a lot of subtexts to this story of resistance to the evil among us, a perfect analogy of the evil in humans. Too much, perhaps, another of its faults. There’s meaning here that’s ultimately lost in what feels like an overly long book to get the point across. The book works as an allegory to human behaviour, particularly in how we treat each other, but doesn’t especially tell us anything new. The book suffers from excess. Well worth reading once, but not to revisit. ( )

This is my absolute favorite of all of Dean Koontz' books. I first read this about 20 years ago. The story was so intriguing to me. The hideous monsters that could appear in human form. The way the monsters fed on human misery. Great stuff. The story has stayed with me all this time. I have read this book a couple more times, and it always is great. ( )

One of the first horror genre books I ever read. I was probably 13... It scared the crap out of me and I loved it! ( )
