One rain-swept Sunday night when he was twenty years old, Joey Shannon took the wrong highway - and from that moment, nothing ever went right for him again. Now, exactly twenty years later, on another rain-swept night, Joey finds himself at the same crossroads, looking down the road never taken. Which is odd. Because that road no longer exists. A superhighway replaced it years ago. But now the highway is exactly as it was on that long-ago night, and when Joey turns on to it, he begins an eerie, terrifying journey towards a truth so dark and stunning that it will change everything that he believes about himself, his past, and the nature of life. STRANGE HIGHWAYS is breathlessly suspenseful, disturbing, filled with surprises, as frightening as anything international bestselling author Dean Koontz has written - and yet it has a haunting beauty all its own. It is the perfect opening to a large and varied collection that contains twelve additional novelettes and short stories that will keep readers awake and fearful for many nights, along countless strange highways.
