I am the One, the all and the only. I live in the
Pendleton as surely as I live everywhere.
I am the Pendleton's history and its destiny.
The building is my place of conception, my
monument, my killing ground.
The Pendleton stands on the summit of Shadow Hill
at the highest point of an old heartland city, a Gilded
Age palace built in the late 1800s as a tycoon's dream
home. Almost from the beginning, its grandeur has
been scarred by episodes of madness, suicide, mass
murder, and whispers of things far worse. But since
its rechristening in the 1970s as a luxury apartment
building, the Pendleton has been at peace. For its
fortunate residents--a successful songwriter and her
young son, a disgraced ex-senator, a widowed attorney,
and a driven money manager among them the
Pendleton's magnificent quarters are a sanctuary, Its
dark past all but forgotten.
But now inexplicable shadows caper across walls,
security cameras relay impossible images, phantom
voices mutter in strange tongues, not-quite-human
figures lurk in the basement, elevators plunge into
unknown depths. With each passing hour, a terrifying
certainty grows: Whatever drove the Pendleton's past
occupants to their unspeakable fates is at work again.
Soon, all those within its boundaries will be engulfed
by a deadly tide from which few have escaped.
Dean Koontz transcends all expectations as he
takes readers on a gripping journey to a place where
nightmare visions become real--and where a group
of singular individuals hold the key to humanity's
destiny. Welcome to 77 Shadow Street.
