Fear Nothing: Dean Koontz

Christopher Snow is athletic, witty, handsome enough, romantic and intelligent. But his whole life has been affected by xeroderma pigmentosum, a rare genetic disorder which means his skin and eyes cannot be exposed to sunlight. So Chris lives at night and has never ventured beyond his hometown of Moonlight Bay, a place of picturesque beauty and haunting strangeness; he knows it as no-one else can possibly know it, intimate with its dark hours and shadows. He has always been determined to live the fullest life possible and with the help of family and friends, he has succeeded. But for Chris and everyone in Moonlight Bay, a terrible change is about to happen - a terrible change which will be potentially catastrophic. Cover photograph by Axel Hoedt.
