Published pseudonymously in 1985, Koontz has revised this thriller portraying a pediatric psychiatrist's attempts to unravel the mental trauma suffered by her estranged nine-year-old daughter. A psychic child warns of danger as a murderous family stalks its amnesiac brother and the married detective team the brother has hired to help him. He takes him on an amazing moonlit journey up to the stars, under the water and through deep forests , then finally back to the new house, where Moji paints the word ‘home’ across the sky. It's a beautiful book with a great title - so great that I have the phrase "BY THE LIGHT OF THE MOON" tattooed on my right arm.

For me, the aspect that drives this author's novels are his characters and this book has great characters.There is no doubt that Dean Koontz is a master of suspense and story-telling but I feel some of the scenes should have been condensed to avoid getting glazed-over eyes and that the intensity of the story faded later on in the book. He's on his way to an arts festival in Santa Fe when he stops to get a room for himself and his twenty-year-old autistic brother, Shep. Dean Koontz has such a talent for fleshing out marginal and unusual viewpoints (like the dog in Dragon Tears and Thomas in The Bad Place). Koontz makes you turn the page to see what happens next - and that's what we all expect from him, don't we?

Before that evening Jilly was a beautiful comedian whose biggest worry was whether she would ever find a decent man.

Shep's " folding foresight" allows him to see from the "present to the past" to avoid danger of their past lives. The most pathetic part of the book remains the (thankfully) rushed ending, when - over a nice glass of wine - our protagonists announce their aim to become something akin to superheroes and vow to fight evil whenever they are faced by it, thus enabling Mr Koontz to produce a sequel. When Jilly discovers that her car, stolen by "Frankenstein" (as they dub him), has been torched with "Frankenstein" still inside she begins to take the dire warnings seriously.Koontz is spending far too much time on the thorough and often dragging description of his protagonists' visions, thereby neglecting the advancement of his plot.
