Strange Highways
Strange Highways | Dean Koontz
3 posts | 19 read | 5 to read
In the stunning title story 'Strange Highways', a failed author returns to his hometown after many years to attend his father's funeral, only to find himself suddenly and inexplicably thrust back through time to relive a traumatic event from his past. One rain-swept Sunday night when he was twenty years old, on his way back to college after a weekend with his family, 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 nearly twenty years ago, and the old state route - which had crossed a web of perpetually burning, abandoned coal mines - was condemned as too dangerous and was torn up. 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 toward a truth so dark and stunning that it will change everything he believes about himself, his past, and the nature of life.

Strange Highways by Dean Koontz is a much more complex story than I anticipated by reading the description. Joey, an alcoholic, returns home for his father‘s funeral. His mother died years ago. In an urgency to leave his hometown, Joey is faced with an unexpected option. #MountTBR

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description or reason for wanting to read the book. Some are old and some will be new. Don't judge me - I have a lot of books.

Reggie I am not a big fan of his but I did like the title story in here and one other one where the father is an atheist. 3y

There are days when the motion of things is strange, but in the end you're glad everyone turns out okay. Moving on to more books.
