Welcome to the WBZ book Club.
I'm Jordan Rich and the pantheon of great

2
00:00:04.200 --> 00:00:08.240
horror fiction writers, several names stand
out, Stephen King, Peter Straub,

3
00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:11.400
and of course Dean Koontz. And
I just read one of his many great

4
00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:15.759
books called seventy seven Shadows Street,
an address that will stay with you after

5
00:00:15.800 --> 00:00:19.679
reading this spooky novel. It's the
elegant world of the Pendleton apartment building,

6
00:00:19.719 --> 00:00:24.039
whose original owner was rumored to be
insane. He became a recluse after his

7
00:00:24.120 --> 00:00:27.640
family, his wife and two children
were kidnapped in the late eighteen nineties.

8
00:00:27.719 --> 00:00:32.079
A second owner, thirty eight years
later endured an even greater tragedy. During

9
00:00:32.119 --> 00:00:35.520
most years, the Pendleton is a
very happy place, but every thirty eight

10
00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:39.359
years or so, evil lurks again
and makes its move. People go insane,

11
00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:43.320
Strange monstrous shapes begin to appear,
and children, one of whom is

12
00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:47.920
autistic, are drawn to these evil
presences hypnotically, and around every corner and

13
00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:53.719
every unit, a demonic force exists
and vows to take no prisoners. Seventy

14
00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:57.560
seven Shadow Street by Dean Koontz.
And that's the book Club. WBZ,
