The House at the End of the World by Dean Koontz
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have been married for 39 years.. and been reading Koontz for almost as long and he has only disappointed me 3 times in all of those years. Sometimes a few years have passed without my reading a Koontz, then I read one and wonder why I haven’t kept up.
Simply put he is in a category all his own.. no one comes close.
In The House at the End of the World he does it again. In retreat from a devastating loss and crushing injustice, Katie lives alone in a fortress-like stone house on Jacob’s Ladder island. Once a rising star in the art world, she finds refuge in her painting.

The neighboring island of Ringrock houses a secret: a government research facility. And now two agents have arrived on Jacob’s Ladder in search of someone—or something—they refuse to identify. Although a sense of foreboding hangs over these men, an greater threat has arrived, one so strange even the island animals are in a state of high alarm.

Katie soon finds herself in an epic and terrifying battle with a mysterious enemy. But Katie’s not alone after all: a brave young girl appears out of the violent squall. As Katie and her companion struggle across a dark and eerie landscape, against them is an omnipresent terror that could bring about the end of the world.
