I have since then read most, if not all, of Mr Koontz's works. This cropped up on kindleunlimited so I stuck not in my library to read later. I try to mix up the genre of novels and it felt like horror story time. I love this book for it's ingenuity and thrill factors. It has a happyish ending, but not for everyone, including the entire town under attack by the devil incarnate. I'd forgotten how intense it was, from start to finish. I recommend this for readers that need a little evil in their lives. I also highly suggest reading the Afterwards written by the author. It gave me a new insight regarding the author and his thoughts on writing this novel over 40 years ago. Review: Mass Disappearances - When written in 2002, Mr. Koontz was at his older, more supernatural style. He's changed his style somewhat over the past few years. Whether you prefer the old or the new, one thing is certain. Mr. Koontz is one of a select group who can very masterfully weave his tales from his imagination to the reader very successfully. That holds true here. In the very small seasonal hamlet of Snowfield, Dr. Jenny Paige arrives home with her 14 year old sister to find her housekeeper dead; the town utterly silent. Upon further inspection, more bodies show up in unnatural death masks. Jenny gets hold of the local Sheriff's Dept. After their arrival the mystery grows only deeper. We come to find an entity with an ability to change shapes & strike unexpectedly to be at the bottom of the strange goings on. The entity comes to the attention of biochemists & an archeologist later in the story. Where & who will be stricken next is anyone's guess. Has this happened before in other parts of the world through the ages? The characters come to life & become very real to the reader. The reader can easily depict the scenario in the town. The author's descriptions are that good. The antidote for this killer is interesting, as well as a couple of the town's local bad guys. They find a vested interest in the killer. In essence, they have arrived. As much as I liked this novel & the fate awaiting the bad guys, there were two things I was not crazy about. I found too much dialogue spent on the creature's descriptions. At times it seemed to go on ad infinitum. I also found the last few pages did not fit the novel at all. There was a perfect point where Mr. Koontz could have ended this story and ended it very well. Instead he chose to keep going, ending instead with a bit of corn which was more befitting of a romance novel. Quit while you're ahead? Yep. That said, it's still an excellent read which is not to be missed ## Images ![Phantoms - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91eT3xyXWCL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth the reread *by K***T on July 9, 2025* I first read this book back in the days of yore, sometime in the 80s.

A page turner, and very gruesome and terrifying. Definitely a science fiction novel. I agree with other reviews about the writing- there's a ton of grammatical and mechanical errors , not sure why - it made the writing hard to read at times but I still read it because it was a great book --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hk/products/147392633-phantoms](https://www.desertcart.hk/products/147392633-phantoms) --- *Product available on Desertcart Hong Kong* *Store origin: HK* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
