Sinossi
Da quando sua moglie, Michelle, se n'è andata sette anni prima, Jeffy Coltrane ha lavorato per mantenere una vita apparentemente normale per sé e sua figlia di undici anni, Amity. Tutto procede per il meglio fino a quando un eccentrico tipo, noto come Spooky Ed, si presenta alla loro porta e chiede a Jeffy di nascondere un oggetto strano e pericoloso - qualcosa che lui chiama "la chiave di tutto" - dicendo a Jeffy che non deve mai usarlo. Mai, e per nessuna ragione. Ma dopo una visita di un gruppo di uomini dai tratti inquietanti, Jeffy e Amity si ritrovano ad attivare accidentalmente la chiave e a scoprire una verità straordinaria. Il dispositivo consente loro di passare tra piani paralleli allo stesso tempo familiari e bizzarri, meravigliosi e terrificanti.

They are given a device that allows them to travel to parallel dimensions and hopefully find a version where she is a doting mo Leggi tutto
3.5 Stars rounded up Checkout my video review of Elsewhere HERE Mr. Koontz and I don’t always get along. In fact, I have probably put down more of his work than I have picked up. A few of his books were entertaining enough. I tried Odd Thomas but it just wasn’t for me. So happily surprised when I foun Leggi tutto
big concept, small execution. what’s funny about elsewhere is it features such a gripping synopsis, maybe the most gripping of any koontz book in a while: father and daughter are given the “key to everything” which opens doors on parallel universes. the reader is promised high-action adventure, horr Leggi tutto
