“Twelve year old Crispin and his dog Harley have lived on the streets since he was nine. His dreams are strangely haunted and composed of memories that are best forgotten. The city he roams has dark and mysterious secrets. Very good but very short story.”

“A great, short read. Like all Dean Koontz novels, this one is packed with interesting characters, but focuses only on a few. A lot of thrilling action, a bit of humor and a touch of sadness define the novel as a true Koontz. I recommend it.”

“Dean Koontz creates thrillers the equal of the best including Stephen King. What sets Koontz apart is that is characters are likable. You care about them which makes the plot twists even more thrilling.”

“I really enjoyed this tale---I had gotten tired of Dean Koontz's books for awhile, but was going to the beach and decided to give this a whirl. I found it to be very good and now I'm reading 77 Shadow Street.”

“For three years now, Crispin has run from them, hidden in plain sight whenever they come across him. He does not want to die like his brother and sister but he knows that one day, he will have to return to Theron Hall and undo the horror that has been done. ”

The story was wonderful, scary, disturbing and left me wanting more. Recommended for any horror/mystery fan and an absolute must-read for any Koontz fan. Happy reading!”

Yes | No0 of 1 members found this review helpful“In this chilling original stand-alone novella, available exclusively as an eBook, #1 New York Times bestselling author Dean Koontz offers a taste of what’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 nine—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 peace—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 Crispin’s world, and its darkest corners yet to be encountered, in this eBook’s special bonus: a spine-tingling excerpt from Dean Koontz’s forthcoming novel, 77 Shadow Street .

Nice and short but very boring. Not even a little bit chilling. Reminded a little of Neil Gaiman's writing, but without the enjoyment Gaiman gives me. Will not be reading 77 Shadow Street.”
