In this episode, bestselling author Dean Koontz joins me to discuss his haunting new novel, Going Home in the Dark. Set in a seemingly quiet hometown that harbors long-buried secrets, the book explores what happens when the past refuses to stay hidden. With a masterful blend of suspense, psychological tension, and emotional depth, Koontz invites readers into a chilling tale about memory, identity, and the darkness we carry with us. Tune in as we talk about the inspiration behind the story, the craft of building slow-burn suspense, and what it really means to come home.
