About this listen

Winner of the 2019 Audie Award for Best Male Narrator with an afterword read by the author

A “superior thriller” (Oakland Press) about a man, a dog, and a terrifying threat that could only have come from the imagination of #1 New York Times bestselling author Dean Koontz - nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read.

On his thirty-sixth birthday, Travis Cornell hikes into the foothills of the Santa Ana Mountains. But his path is soon blocked by a bedraggled Golden Retriever who will let him go no further into the dark woods.

That morning, Travis had been desperate to find some happiness in his lonely, seemingly cursed life. What he finds is a dog of alarming intelligence that soon leads him into a relentless storm of mankind’s darkest creation....

Critic Reviews

“His best story yet! Cross Lassie with E.T., add a touch of The Wolfen and a dash of The Godfather, and you get a sense of some of the ingredients in this thriller....this is the sort of thoroughly frightening and entertaining tale that has its readers listening for noises in the night.” --Publishers Weekly

“His best ever, an imaginative and unusual blend of sense and sentiment. A fable about love and trust...with echoes of Frankenstein and The Island of Dr. Moreau. A breakthrough for Koontz.” --Kirkus Reviews

“Displaying...more depth and a lot more humor than Stephen King, Dean Koontz has really hit his stride.” --The New York Times Book Review

I just loved the story. From beginning to end I was hooked to it. The creature scared me a bit but it was compensated by lovely Einstein. The characters were well constructed except I was a little frustrated with Nora in the beginning. But this is a story which I won't forget for a couple of years.
Thanks.

Terrific story!!!! Dean Koontz is awesome.

The narration and so the story went so well hand in hand keeping a sense of anticipation of what’s gonna be happening to Einstein as also his humans was amazing.
I will get a Golden Retriever one day and name him Einstein and thus pay homage to the fictional heart touching character

One of the best from Dean Koontz
