Television, film, and Broadway actor Weber has turned in many strong performances and is equally strong in his reading of Koontz's dark horror thriller featuring a diverse cast of characters with varying ages and sanity levels. Whether reading the part of adolescent boys, hard-bitten police officers, concerned parents, or an all-too-realistic ghost inhabiting different human bodies, Weber commands our attention. A cloud of foul malice grows when a ghostly, malevolent spirit seeks to complete a deadly cycle of evil and wreak vengeance on homicide detective John Calvino and his family. Weber's tones encompass and convey varying levels of awareness and fear experienced by key characters, ranging from innocent to guilty. He is especially convincing in his chilling depiction of insane obsession in the evil spirit's quest for physical hosts as a means to deliver deadly torture. Koontz fans will be pleased. Also available in Playaway ($94.99). Copyright 2019 Booklist Reviews. - Publishers Weekly Reviews : PW Reviews 2011 May #1
It is a good thing that narrator Steven Weber is capable of such enthralling performanceâit's this audiobook's only saving grace. A young teenage boy savagely murders his family in a manner identical to the way the family of Det. John Calvino was murdered 20 years earlier. Though John, then a boy, had killed that perpetrator himself, he knows the spirit of that evil lunatic is now possessing people, good and bad, and is out to destroy John's own wife and children. The story becomes an exercise in frustration: spooky things occur to the Calvino family, and they each stubbornly refuse to share their experiences, either in a mistaken effort to protect each other, or to protect themselves from ridicule. Weber's seasoned efforts to bring emotion and drama to this book are valiant and rewarding. His voice is rich and comfortable in the narration and can keep pace as the story becomes intense. A Bantam hardcover. (Feb.)
