Book Review By Tracey Ray
Winter Moon by Dean R. Koontz

Eduardo Fernandez was drawn by the bass like pulsing sounds and the glowing light on the far end of his Montana property. He was also frightened, and that inspired him to document his experiences with the glowing light, pulsing sounds, and what he described as "the door." He felt some being had traveled through it. He begin to notice certain animals acting strangely bold, then they would die suddenly near his home. Eduardo felt something had taken control of those animals and was watching him, threatening him. He knew an alien creature had entered his home, as it left behind a horrible decaying odor. He prepared for battle against the unknown by stocking up on weapons.
