He is Deucalion, a tattooed man of mysterious origin, a sleight-of-reality artist who has traveled the centuries with a secret worse than death. he arrives in New Orleans as a serial killer stalks the streets, a killer who carefully selects his victims for the humanity that is missing in himself. Decucalion's path will lead him to detectives Carson O'Connor and Michael Maddison, who are tracking the slayer but will soon discover signs of something far more terrifying: an entire race of killers who are much more--and less--than human and, deadliest of all, their deranged, near-immortal maker: Victor Helios--once known as Frankenstein.

Loved it submitted by schweiml on July 8, 2023, 12:26pm Such a unique spin on a classic story. I love how Koontz brought this story into the modern day and made it his own. I’ve re-read this many times over the years and have shared the book with others and still find myself enjoying it. Koontz’s writing here is as strong as ever and you don’t need to be a Koontz fan to enjoy this book.
