About this listen

 In picturesque Moonlight Cove, California, inexplicable deaths occur, and spine-tingling terror descends to this "edge of paradise". Growing numbers of residents harbor a secret so dark it is sure to cost even more lives.

Tessa Lockland comes to town to probe her sister's seemingly unprompted suicide. Independent and clever, she meets up with Sam Booker, an undercover FBI agent sent to Moonlight Cove to discover the truth behind the mysterious deaths.

They meet Harry Talbot, a wheelchair-bound veteran, who has seen things from his window that he was not meant to see. Together they begin to understand the depth of evil in Moonlight Cove. Chrissie Foster, a resourceful 11-year-old, running from parents who have suddenly changed and in whom darkness dwells, joins them. Together they make a stand against darkness and terror.

I really enjoyed listening to this. It kept me engaged and they really should make this into a film.

One of my favourite Dean Koontz stories

I’ve given this book 4 stars as I feel it seemed a little dated. I kept thinking how much easier their predicament would be with a mobile phone.
However, it was still a good romp in the usual Koontz style.

Only four stars ....

Fantastic story keeps you totally gripped from start to finish. Dean Koontz at his best.

Great read

I think that people are a bit harsh on Mr Charles. I thought that He wasn’t bad at all. Slightly rushing through the book at times but not bad.
(If you want to hear bad reading then listen to Hundred Years of Solitude).
The story started really well and then became too unbelievable to me. He was trying to make it scary but too much.
Still, I love Dean Koontz and I will keep listening his books.

Koontz exaggerated slightly.

I started this audio book about twenty five years after I actually read it, remembering that outside of my usual Stephen King faves this was one of the best of my younger years. I was dismayed at first that the narrator sounded like a 1930s newscaster, barreling along at a thousand miles per hour, a bit of tinkering with the playback speed sorted that out nicely, I found that setting it to 0.85x gave it a more normal tempo and timbre. Storywise this is a wonderful book, I love horror with a good sense of humour and Koontz is definitely one of the genre's best when it comes to providing that in bushels.

Turn the speed down!!!

story was great, always enjoy Koontz style but the narration sounded clipped in places as if AI were involved. This made it difficult to understand and not an enjoyable listen. Such a shame as the voice wasn't too bad sometimes. Ruined the experience for me.

A really strong idea with excellent characters who are thoughtfully developed. Midnight features Koontz's usual high-octane action & trademark rapid pace, but there's pause enough to catch your breath and smile, even laugh along with some of the more loveable characters.

Koontz at his imaginative best

This was my first Koontz story audio-book and otherwise and I was surprised by the vats amount of detail, when focused on the audio-book it's interesting and the plot sucks you in however because of how dense the content is it can be hard to concentrate and keep track of where you are in the story

Dense but overall decent

this is the second Dean Koontz book I've listened to (first was Phantoms). it's ok, but essentially the same story again. remote small town overridden by evil forces, defeated by a plucky small band of adults plus a child caught up in the middle of it all. like I said I enjoyed it well enough but I think I've heard enough of Mr Koontz for now. narration is good, if a bit cheery for a tale of dismorphic horror.

ok, but formulaic
