Город мертвых

Dean Koontz has a knack for creating unsettling atmospheres—I'm curious what sparked the idea for this haunting location and its secrets.

There was a stretch where the story seemed to pause; I wonder if that was intentional to build tension or just the natural flow of the plot.

The characters' backstories felt integral to their responses, but I’m curious how much Koontz planned this versus evolved during writing.
