No fan of Dean Koontz or of psychological suspense will want to miss this extraordinary novel of the human mind’s capacity to torment—and destroy—itself.
It’s a fear more paralyzing than falling. More terrifying than absolute darkness. More horrifying than anything you can imagine. It’s the one fear you cannot escape no matter where you run . . . no matter where you hide.
It’s the fear of yourself. It’s real. It can happen to you. And facing it can be deadly.
False Memory . . . Fear for your mind.
BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Dean Koontz's The City.

This was the very first novel that I've ever read. Wasn't a fan of novels until I read this book at age 17. I'm 32 now and because of this book I not only love novels, but am the biggest Koontz fan ever.

Your own mind deceives you. Everything is real yet wrong and twisted. Your whole world is a terrible lie. You know that you will die here yet escape is impossible because you are the enemy. You are the monster.

I read this book years ago... I loved it. The copy I have is a ratty, dog-eared paper back that hit it's prime 10 years ago... I read it many times.
