   Scary October reads (15) Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro.  ElisabethZguta | Jul 18, 2023 |    ) sunshine9573 | Dec 19, 2022 | Do you have to read The Moonlit Mind before you read 77 Shadow Street? Nah, I just finished listening to 77 Shadow Street and you can definitely read 77 Shadow Street separately. I thought the events in The Moonlit Mind would have something to do with 77 Shadow Street's story, perhaps Crispin would show up? But, no and thank kind of bummed me. Anyway, this novella is really good and long enough to truly get interesting. I would very much like to read a book about Crispin and not just a novella. ( ) MaraBlaise | Jul 23, 2022 | Koontz did a good job describing the 9-12 year old protagonist (the story jumps back and forth between events which happened when Crispin was 9 years old and the present situation - Crispins 13th birthday). I did not like the dog - this element (even the fact that Harley is a golden retriever) has already been beaten to death. On the other hand, the novella contained some unique elements (cat avatars in the model of the house come to mind). A solid three of five, almost a four. I can hardly wait to read the new book - and maybe reread some older Koontz novels in between. (  ) Ellemir | May 26, 2022 | Unlike "Darkness under the Sun" (novella) which fits perfectly into the larger story of "What the Night Knows," (novel), "The Moonlit Mind" is truly a stand alone story with little or no relation to "77 Shadow Street" other than geography. But it is a very good story and I highly recommend it. "The Moonlit Mind" has all the standard Dean Koontz tropes. Super intelligent dog, brave yet maladjusted children, menacing dark conspiracies. But what the hell, it works for him. I enjoyed my time with Crispin and his dog and found his whole story, as well as the story of the dark forces working against him to be very entertaining. Actually, this one could have made an even better novel since it left so much of the story untold. Talk about a dysfunctional family.... In a nutshell, Crispin and his brother and sister are "adopted" by their selfish and materialistic mother's latest romantic conquest, who has made a life for herself by seeking out rich and then even richer men to provide for her and, to a much lesser extent, for her children. The children have been at worst pawns, at best afterthoughts, in her life. Not this time. Her new husband is very interested in the children---as are the other members of his evil and powerful family and their magical, secret society.

HTML:In this chilling original stand-alone novella, available exclusively as an eBook, #1 New York Times bestselling author Dean Koontz offers a taste of whatâ??s to come in his new novel, 77 Shadow Street, with a mesmerizing tale of a homeless boy at large in a city fraught with threats . . . both human and otherwise. Twelve-year-old Crispin has lived on the streets since he was nineâ??with only his wits and his daring to sustain him, and only his silent dog, Harley, to call his friend. He is always on the move, never lingering in any one place long enough to risk being discovered. Still, there are certain places he returns to. In the midst of the tumultuous city, they are havens of solitude: like the hushed environs of St. Mary Salome Cemetery, a place where Crispin can feel at peaceâ??safe, at least for a while, from the fearsome memories that plague him . . . and seep into his darkest nightmares. But not only his dreams are haunted. The city he roams with Harley has secrets and mysteries, things unexplainable and maybe unimaginable. Crispin has seen ghosts in the dead of night, and sensed dimensions beyond reason in broad daylight. Hints of things disturbing and strange nibble at the edges of his existence, even as dangers wholly natural and earthbound cast their shadows across his path. Alone, drifting, and scavenging to survive is no life for a boy. But the life Crispin has left behind, and is still running scared from, is an unspeakable alternative . . . that may yet catch up with him. There is more to this world, and its darkest corners yet to be encountered, in this eBookâ??s special bonus: a spine-tingling excerpt from Dean Koontzâ??s forthcoming novel, 77 Shadow S No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

I thoroughly enjoyed this short story. I really liked the character of Crispin and Harley. True heroes were braving the dangers, in a bizarre world that only Koontz can paint. I only wish there had been more story and depth to the actual sacrifice rituals. Being a short story, it was focused mainly on the characters, as it should be. Enjoyable read. (
