“Darkness Under the Sun” (novella) by Dean Koontz
Price: $1.59
“There once was a killer who knew the night, its secrets and rhythms. How to hide within its shadows. When to hunt.

But still… he had not yet discovered how to make his special mark among monsters, how to come fully alive as Death. This is the story of how he learned those things, and of what we might do to ensure that he does not visit us.”
