Fear Nothing Hb Koontz Dean R

Christopher Snow has xeroderma pigmentosum — a rare genetic disorder that makes sunlight lethal. He lives by moonlight in the California coastal town of Moonlight Bay, a place that's starting to feel wrong in ways he can't quite name. When his father dies under suspicious circumstances, Chris and his golden retriever Orson stumble into a conspiracy that reaches into the town's military research facility. Something is happening to Moonlight Bay's animals and people, something that turns the familiar into the monstrous. Koontz writes Chris as sharp, funny, and surprisingly fearless for someone who can't step into daylight — this isn't mopey Gothic horror, it's fast-paced and genuinely unsettling. The prose has that signature Koontz rhythm: propulsive, darkly comic, with sudden gut-punches of dread. For readers who like their horror grounded in real science gone wrong, with a protagonist worth rooting for.
