Addison Goodheart is born to a woman who lives on the
fringes of civilization far out in the woods. But Addison is different. Disfigured
from birth, he barely interacts with his mother, whose own demons send her into
her own darkness for days or weeks on end, leaving Addison to fend for himself.
Or she boots him out of the house, but still feeds him by putting food on the porch
and ringing a bell. This could go on for days.
As Addison grows, he becomes more and more confident in his
ability to co-exist with the creatures of the woods. At least until he stumbles
across a shack, a body, and the shooter.
This is a Kindle single. It’s a short story that can be read
in maybe 30 minutes. Turns out it’s a preview for the next series of
books by Koontz that revolve around Addison Goodheart. The first installment,
Innocence, is due to be released December 10. I was actually surprised that no
one here at MRB had reviewed anything form the vast library of titles by Dean
Koontz. He is a prolific writer with dozens of best sellers in his history. I’m
betting that we’ll see a steady supply of his books in the future here at MRB.
