Gothic Challenge
Outdo Yourself(58/200)
"What The Night Knows" by Dean Koontz
Product Description(Amazon.com)
In the late summer of a long ago year, a killer arrived in a small city. His name was Alton Turner Blackwood, and in the space of a few months he brutally murdered four families. His savage spree ended only when he himself was killed by the last survivor of the last family, a fourteen-year-old boy.
Half a continent away and two decades later, someone is murdering families again, recreating in detail Blackwood’s crimes. Homicide detective John Calvino is certain that his own family—his wife and three children—will be targets in the fourth crime, just as his parents and sisters were victims on that distant night when he was fourteen and killed their slayer.
As a detective, John is a man of reason who deals in cold facts. But an extraordinary experience convinces him that sometimes death is not a one-way journey, that sometimes the dead return.

MY THOUGHTS: Do you want to read a really good ghost story? It was so scary I had, at times, a hard time reading this book late at night. Reading about John and his past is like reading a headline now. And John carries this around with him after 20 years. Until one night strange things begin to happen that he can't explain logically.
John starts looking for answers, but will he like the outcome? I highly recommend this book if you like ghost stories. It's really good!
