Martie Rhodes, a happily married, successful video games designer, takes an agoraphobic friend to therapy sessions twice a week. Each trip is a grim ordeal, but the experience has brought the two friends even closer together.

Then, one morning, Martie experiences a brief, irrational but disquieting fear of... her shadow. When autophobia - one of the rarest and most intriguing phobias known to psychology - is diagnosed, suddenly, radically her life changes, and her future looks dark.

Martie's husband, Dusty, loves her profoundly, and is desperate to understand the cause of her autophobia. But as he comes closer to the terrible truth, Dusty himself starts showing signs of a psychological disorder even more frightening than that afflicting Martie...

Reviews for False Memory

`A fast-paced read` Mail on Sunday `This is a book to keep you awake reading long into the night, but for once not afraid to turn out the light... Nice one, Mr Koontz` The Times `Koontz has bridged the commercial gap between the occultism of Stephen King and the scientism of Michael Crichton` Publishers Weekly `Masterfully styled, serious entertainment. These are Koontz`s great years` Kirkus Reviews Praise for SOLE SURVIVOR `Koontz can really spook, and his dialogue and pacing rival the best` New York Post `Koontz is working right where popular culture swells into something larger, just as it did for Homer, Shakespeare and Dickens.
