  ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
  Phantoms by Dean Koontz tells the story of a terrifying shape-shifting creature that appears in the small town of Snowfield, California. This entity is capable of absorbing the flesh, memories, and knowledge of its victims, which allows it to take on different forms and mimic those it has consumed. As the town's inhabitants begin to die and disappear, a small group of survivors, including a doctor, a sheriff, and a deputy, along with Timothy Flyte, an author whose work predicted this evil's existence, must fight to survive. The narrative blends horror, science fiction, and mystery, as it explores themes of evil, human nature, and the potential dangers of science. The creature’s ability to manipulate and corrupt human intellect makes the fight not just physical, but also a battle against fear itself.
