Well, after many days of reading I have completed the Dean Koontz novel "Intensity".
I found it quite intriguing and I often wondered to what extent Mr Vess would go in his pursuit of satisfying his depraved senses.
If you want to read book that are really HORROR THRILLERS, Dean Koontz is the author to turn to. There is nothing "normal" about his characters. I found myself totally absorbed by some parts of the book willing the good character to hurry up and get a move on to free herself from the grips and bondage of her evil, bloodthirsty tormentor. The actions of Mr Edgler Vess were always unpredictable. His love for the macabre was experienced in so many different ways.
At the end of the book, Chyna managed to escape in spite of great obstacles and she even managed to free Ariel who had been imprisoned by the demonic Edgler. After all the tension of the 24 hours covered by most of the book, there was relief that the bad guy did not win but disappointment as well because the story almost ended in an anti-climax.
I can imagine that this novel could be (might already be) a gripping movie. It would be interesting to see how the various scenes would be depicted.
