The Bedford County native, 74, who now lives in California, has climbed the list of most-searched topics on the internet, and been lighting up social media sites, after readers noted similarities — striking on the surface — between the plot of Koontz’s 1981 thriller “The Eyes of Darkness” and the coronavirus dubbed COVID-19 that appeared in China. The virus has spread across the globe, infecting more than 75,000 people in China, with more than 2,000 deaths attributed to the illness, which first came to the attention of the world in the city of Wuhan.
Particularly eye-catching was this quote from the book:
“They call the stuff “Wuhan-400” because it was developed at their RDNA labs outside of the city of Wuhan and it was the four-hundredth viable strain of man-made microorganisms created at that research centre.”
Perhaps making the quote even more chilling is the real-life existence of a high-level bio-research lab, the Wuhan Institute of Virology........
Chilling coincidence? Similarities between Koontz book, virus outbreak draw global attention
