Twilight Eyes by Dean Koontz

Slim Mackenzie was born with what his grandma refered to as ' Twilight Eyes'. He has the ability to see what he refers to as Goblins. Goblins are demons that are disguised as humans. As a young boy he had to kill his uncle because he was one. Since no one else can see the Goblins for what they truly are, Slim has been on the run from the law ever since. Over the years his quest to destroy as many Goblins as possible has become an obsession. It is that obsession that eventually leads him into one particular carnival. There he meets the disfigured strong man Joel Truck who can also see the Goblins, and the beautiful Rya who becomes the love of Slim's life. Now together the three must fight to stop the Goblins before it is too late! Dean Koontz's ' Twilight Eyes ' is a literary masterpiece that any fan of fiction should read. There are two things about the novel that really set it apart from the rest. The first being the carnival atmosphere and ' carnies'. The carnies are almost like a seperate society that lives as one big family. Koontz makes you feel like you are a part of it with his beautiful description of the lifestyle. It is also entertaining the way that Koontz describes how the games are run and how they are always looking for easy 'marks'. This is the second carnival tale that Koontz has written, with 'The Funhouse' being the first. 'Twilight Eyes' manages to be even better than its predecessor. The novel also provides for some twists and turns that will definately shock you, and the ending is very satisfying unlike the ending in 'The Funhouse'. This 1987 Guild Publishing Hardback is in fair condition.
