Relentless
by Dean Koontz
A psychotic book critic terrorizes a writer in Koontz’s latest.
“Write what you know” is that great old standby for writers, both young and old, looking for inspiration. Well, it seems that after more than three decades of writing bestsellers, Dean Koontz knows literary critics. His most recent book is a part-horrifying, part-humorous thriller based on a psychotic book reviewer who terrorizes a writer whose book he just panned. (There’s a Taser involved.) In a review of the book (no pun intended, really), the Associated Press reports, “While some may find this a bit off-putting, Koontz’s many fans won’t be disappointed.”
