Relation In Favor Of Books The Funhouse
Once there was a girl who ran away and joined a traveling carnival. She married a man she grew to hate—and gave birth to a child she could never love. A child so monstrous that she killed it with her own hands…Twenty-five years later, Ellen Harper has a new life, a new husband, and two normal children—Joey loves monster movies, and Amy is about to graduate from high school. But their mother drowns her secret guilt in alcohol and prayer. The time has come for Amy and Joey to pay for her sins…Because Amy is pregnant.
And the carnival is coming back to town.

A scary ride through a terrifying psych...He scared me to shivers. If a horror/paranormal writer can scare me to that level, take my word for it, it's downright terrorizing reading.

The Funhouse is a hypnotic, enthralling story from beginning to end and it was difficult to put down for such mundane activitiesNot what I was expecting, and I'm pretty neutral towards the story, I didn't love it but I didn't hate it, either.

I can take the next thing that comes along.' You must do the thing you think you can not do."-Anna RooseveltThis book is definitely creepy.The Funhouse is one of the last in-print Koontz books for me to read.

I am a HUGE fan of Dean Koontz books, and I've read dozens of them, usually enjoying every page and finding myself unable to put them down. I've lost many hours of sleep because of this, since I sometimes find myself reading long into the night even when I know I'll be tired the next day.

Admittedly, the only reason I actually finished the entire book was my twisted curiosity for what would actually happen in the end, and

Elena could no longer stand the strict rules that her mother gave her. She decides to run away with the carnival and the man she
Boy, did I ever hate this book! It was originally released decades ago under a pen name. When the audio came up for free, I jumped on the chance, because I loved Dean Koontz back in the day. I thought that because I enjoyed his older books like The Watchers, that I would enjoy this one. I was wrong. There were so many cliches in this book, it became sad.
