I've been a Dean Koontz fan ever since I wondered what else was out there besides Stephen King and picked up Hideaway at the library. And now, I've just finished number 15, Shadowfires. Since Rose Madder is my all time favorite Stephen King book, you know that I'd have to be intrigued, to say the least, at Shadowfires' summary. Rose Madder is the story of a psychotic murderous husband chasing his wife across the country, whereas Shadowfires is about a nutty, furious husband rising from the grave and hunting his wife down. But I was a little hesitant, seeing as this book is not very highly rated. But then again, Darkfall is rather unpopular among Koontz fans and is one of his best, so maybe this would be the case with Shadowfires, and it was. Rachel Leben has just decided to divorce her wealthy husband Eric. Eric is a genius who works at a company called Geneplan where he's in charge of the Wildcard project, which he hopes will be used to prolong human lifespans. Eric is obsessed with immortality, for reasons which we discover later on in the story. Eric is furious when Rachel decides to leave him, and in a fit of rage, accidently gets himself run down and killed by a garbage truck. Now Rachel is free to live in peace with her boyfriend, Benny Shadway. Or is she? As it turns out, Eric escapes from the morgue. Turns out he's been his own guinea pig for his immortality experiment. Still furious with Rachel, he sets out to track her down and slaughter her and Benny. Unfortunately, the experiment has gone horribly wrong and is transforming him into something unspeakable at a terrifying rate.
