Dean Koontz

A short-order cook, just off work, makes easy tracking for lions and worse
Dean Koontz
There’s just something unsettling about studying your reflection. It’s not a matter of being dissatisfied with your face or of being embarrassed by your vanity. Maybe it’s that when you gaze into your own eyes, you don’t see what you wish to see—or glimpse something that you wish weren’t there.
Dean Koontz
