The Eyes of Darkness, by Dean Koontz

And the moment came when reality, rather than surpassing fiction, plunged fully into it.

One bad day, when the covid-19 began to emerge as the pandemic that would become, the name of Dean koontz. I thought about the death of the writer, as it usually happens in these cases of characters not very assiduous to trending topics.

But no, the thing is that some reader had remembered something read about Wuhan or perhaps the author himself pulled from memory and put the matter on the table. The point is that reviewing this novel comes to paragraphs that freeze the blood.

First of all because It was written in 1981 and curiously it featured a virus manufactured in Wuhan that would travel the world with pernicious effects. Second, because it serves to enhance the conspiracy idea of ​​the production of the virus, ours, the bloody Covid-19, beyond its natural arrival in humans.

So the reissue was sung and RBA took care of it so that we could all feel that disturbing metaliterary doubt within a novel between the fantastic, the dark and a great emotional part.

Tina survives her melancholy in part thanks to her dedication to a business show in which she must continue to appear the same energy and enthusiasm as always.

But Tina's ghosts are persistent in their rawness. Their 12-year-old son Danny died and the marriage breakdown marks a before and after in the recent period of the last year.

When a thriller is compatible with such a strong emotional part, it has won me over. And while this novel runs more lightly in terms of plot or twists, the weight of its human transcendence can take it all.

In her dark existence beyond the spotlight, one good or bad day Tina discovers a message in her son's room. From that moment we enter that paranormal scenario that the author likes so much, but this time everything is soaked by that feeling of epic overcoming in the face of death, of a possible recovery of communication with that person you forgot say for the last time "I love you".

Only Tina's son doesn't write the message just because. The reasons for claiming the attention of his mother take off a disturbing story of deep suspense that obviates any intention of terror to provide a review of emotions from the fantastic.

Accompanied by her friend Elliot Stryker, Tina will try to understand, assume and interpret her son's messages. What would not be done for a son even if he has already passed away?
