Dance & the Devil

About this book

Katherine Sellers is starting over. Leaving the city behind, she drives through a fierce January snowstorm into the Adirondack mountains, ready to begin a glamorous new job at the secluded Owlsden house. Her spirits are high, her future full of promise, until she spots something dreadful hanging in the doorway of a ruined barn beside the lonely road. What she finds there is a cruel, ritualistic act, and it is only the first sign that the quiet countryside hides something far darker than the weather. As the snow closes in and the nearest help is miles away, Katherine begins to sense that her new home may not be the refuge she hoped for. Dance with the Devil is an early suspense novel by bestselling author Dean Koontz, written in the tradition of the gothic thriller: an isolated mansion, a young heroine with no family to turn to, and menace that creeps closer with every chapter. At roughly 48,000 words in 21 short chapters, it is a fast, atmospheric read that is easy to finish in a single weekend. If you enjoy chilling mysteries, winter settings and the slow dread of a house with secrets, this is a story to settle in with.
