About this ebook

Heart-stopping thriller from the master of suspense. Bad things are starting to happen at the Pendleton, an eerie building with a tragic past.

The Pendleton stands on the summit of Shadow Hill, a palace built in the late 19th century as a tycoon’s dream home. But its grandeur has been scarred by episodes of madness, suicide and mass murder. Since being converted into luxury apartments in the 70s, however, the Pendleton has been at peace. For its fortunate residents – among them ex-marine Bailey Hawk, songwriter Twyla Trahern and her young son Winny – the Pendleton is a sanctuary, its dark past all but forgotten.

But now inexplicable shadows caper across walls, security cameras relay impossible images, phantom voices mutter in strange tongues, not-quite-human figures lurk in the basement, elevators plunge into unknown depths. It seems that whatever drove past occupants to their unspeakable fates is at work again.

As nightmare visions become real, a group of extraordinary individuals hold the key to humanity’s destiny. Welcome to 77 Shadow Street.

I think maybe my expectations were a little high.. No spine tingling surprises. Jumped around a little too much, with a little too much unnecessary details that really did make the story DRAG! If you are a big fan of Stephen Kings' IT, you'll probably enjoy this one more than I did.

The story started well enough usual spooky koontz style then became just a mental misdirected mess for a good third of the book! However what i will say is the last few chapters were brilliantly realised and very clever its just a shame that it was preceded by a muddled mess!
