Martie Rhodes is a young wife and successful video-game desighner. Then one morning she experiences a sudden and inexplicable fear, a fleeting but disquieting terror of...her own shadow. Later she realizes that she is terrified to look in the mirror and confront the reflection of her own face. As these traumatic episodes build, the lives of Martie and her husband, Dustin, change drastically. Desperate to discover the reasons for his wife's sudden descent into mental chaos, Dusty takes Martie to the renowned therapist who has been treating her best friend, and begins a frantic search for clues. As he comes closer to the shocking truth, Dusty finds himself afflicted with a condition even more fearsome than Martie's.

Another monster of a book. The paperback is 751 pgs. Great story. Dean is such a stickler for detail. Some scenes are so well described, it feels as if you could walk into the book. A long read that doesn't feel long enough.
