A call in the middle of the night summoned psychiatrist Laura McCaffrey out into the rain-swept streets of Los Angeles. The police had found her husband-beaten to death. But what of her daughter, Melanie, whom he had kidnapped six years earlier? At the brutal murder scene, the police lead Laura into her husband's makeshift lab—and open the door to a rising tide of terror that has trapped Melanie in its midst...

Customer Reviews
Love for a child
Strong and never yielding love for a child is the base of this book. I enjoyed reading this older Koontz book much more than a newer book - Quicksilver. Door to December gave me characters I could cling to and feel empathy for during their struggle against an impossible evil. The book is weighted down with soul-searching that goes too deep, but overall a great story.
The Door to December
Koontz needs to do a better job of researching the differences between psychiatry and psychology. It’s been years since I read one of his books. I doubt I will read any others.
Riveting. Couldn’t put it down.
Pure Koontz. There is something terrifying and comforting in this, as in most books by this author.
