Taylor, Drew (21 September 2012). "Review: 'House At The End Of The Street' Is Like 'Twilight' Meets 'The Devil's Rejects' (And Totally Awful)". IndieWire. originally supposed to be a collaborative horror movie, written and directed by "Donnie Darko" filmmaker Richard Kelly and Jonathan Mostow This story is drenched with way too much description, every little thing is over explained repeatedly and unnecessarily, to the point where it feels like he thinks his readers are idiots. Soon no one on Earth will have a place to hide in this novel about fears known and unknown by #1 New York Times bestselling master of suspense Dean Koontz.

This is a mystery, sci-fi, and suspense novel. It's a fast-paced book, although events were happening too slow (some parts were unnecessary.) To be informed, this was my first time knowing about Dean Koontz. He was a successful author with many published works, and it's even more sad if we take it into consideration because he STILL ended up with this trash. Mind you, I'm not alone on this hate. Many of the author's dedicated readers were finally giving up on him because of this novel. I know their resignation has got to do more on the author falling out of his glory by getting much political and inserting questionable personal opinions/influences to his later works...but that doesn't excuse why this book was dreadful. Katie is determined to stop Carrier and his plans for Moloch. She teams up with a young girl named Rain, who is also a target of Carrier’s. Together, Katie and Rain must face the dangers of Jacob’s Ladder Island and the power of Moloch. It’s been so long since I’ve had the delight of reading a Dean Koontz novel and when the opportunity arose to read his new release hitting the shelves in January 2023, to say I jumped would be an understatement. I like what this author consistently brings to the table – original plots, memorable characters, and a writing style that doesn’t fail to draw you in with a few words. I didn’t think that his brand of storytelling could get much better, but The House at the End of the World exceeded all my expectations. His plots are just lame, but when there are moments where you think things are going to get better, he just squashes them.

Next month, Decimus, will be exciting for me because our golden retriever, Elsa, will have her eighth birthday party on the 2nd. Peter Travers of Rolling Stone awarded the film three out of four stars, calling it "funny and heartfelt" and "a small treasure." He added, "Farrell's astutely judged portrayal . . . is a career highlight" and "Stage director Michael Mayer ( Side Man) makes a striking debut in film."

There’s a full moon on the tenth, but that stopped being a holiday since it became obvious that human sacrifices didn’t lead to more bountiful crops, sometime around 1945.

Near the island a young widow lives in isolation after having lost her whole family by a criminal gang rampagne which let her husband and two daughters death behind.The creatures that Carrier has created are a mix of human and animal DNA, and they are incredibly powerful and dangerous. After a while I just pictured Katie, the main character, as Lauren Boebert! Katie is not well-educated and she is obsessed with firearms so it fit.

The first couple of books were great, fourth was just okay, and the last book was a hot mess. His books since then have been going steadily downhill. I mostly listened to this book (ebook at night) and always wanted to keep going. Short chapters, lots of edge of your seat suspense, otherworldy witchy happenings. I was completely swept up! Katie and Libby captured my heart - strong, capable and self-sufficient.
