About this listen

A mother’s greatest wish—or darkest nightmare—comes true in this chilling classic audiobook thriller from the Master of Suspense, Dean Koontz.

“Koontz puts his readers through the emotional wringer.”–The Associated Press

In the year since her son Danny’s tragic death, Tina Evans has suffered incredible heartache. But now, with her Vegas show about to premiere, Tina might be ready to put her grief behind her and start over.

Until a shocking message appears on the chalkboard in Danny's room: NOT DEAD. Those two words send her on a terrifying journey from the bright lights of Las Vegas to the cold shadows of the High Sierras, where she uncovers a terrible secret.

Editorial Review

Losing a child is a parent’s worst nightmare. Tina Evans is grieving her son Danny after he died in a tragic bus accident. One year later, she swore she saw him in a stranger’s car. Could her son still be alive? Tina goes on a quest to find out the truth—and discovers a terrifying secret. Some things can be worse than death...

This gripping thriller will keep the listener on the edge of their seat from the first second to the last. Narrator Tanya Eby’s energetic and youthful voice captivates and carries the suspense of each dramatic moment. Eby is a USA Today best-selling author and an Audie Award-winning narrator of more than 650 audiobooks. She is also an active blogger, a novelist and the owner of Blunder Woman Productions, an Indie audiobook publishing company.

The Eyes of Darkness writer Dean Koontz started to create stories when he was a teen. His skillful detail in building the tension and terror throughout his thrillers has seduced audiences everywhere. Koontz has written more than 105 titles and has sold over 450 million copies worldwide. The popular horror novelist is the creator of countless #1 New York Times best sellers that have inspired many film adaptations.

Published in 1981, The Eyes of Darkness saw a surge in popularity in 2020 after a passage from the book purportedly predicted the real-world outbreak of the coronavirus. Indeed, the book mentions a virus called “Wuhan-400”, although that’s where the similarities with the coronavirus end.

the story was fine. but the narrator was somewhere between a children's book and an automated announcement over a speaker system voice. it was impossible to listen all the way through unfortunately.

wrong voice casting. so wrong.

A moderately good story, however I did have to suspend my reasoning on a couple of areas. An excellent narration from Tanya Eby, I will definitely seek her out in other books.

A good story line
