I’m back from the American Library Association conference and cone again, Amazon’s book was a letdown on the Koontz front beyond a single image on a flyer and copies of The Forest of Lost Souls on display. But hey, the mail contained a gem waiting for me, and Dean wrote a new essay.

• Amazon Publishing flyer to Going Home in the Dark
