Yes, this was on the Forum a few weeks ago.

I’m not sure whether or not it is “fake news” to quote our overseas cousin, (the somewhat mad one).

If anyone knows for sure if it is genuine I would be intrigued.

The left hand page does not appear to be from a fiction book although the right hand one does. Curious certainly.

Spooky !

Is this your book or something you've got off the internet and maybe a spoof, it's so strange.

I think in the original book the city / town was Gorky in the USSR. The book was was revised after the end of the cold war and Wuhan chosen. Not 100% sure but its maybe just a coincidence.

Well, it’s not in my edition of “The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch” so it must be a spoof......

Ya think?

If you look in the Bible you'll no doubt find something about this too ... fact or fiction? Hmmm ... I'll get back to you on that one!

as Burgo said. In the first editions it was named after the Russian city where the chemical lab is. In the 1989 editions & onwards it was changed to Wuhan where the chinese lab is.

Probably the publisher to get the book sales up!

Certainly spooky if true. Does any funster have a copy of this book? I’d love to see the paragraph for real, not just hearsay.

Was Coronavirus Predicted in a 1981 Dean Koontz Novel?

A speculative anticipation of a possibility is very different than a 'prediction.'

I'm pretty sure I have \ had it. Might have given it to local charity shop a couple of years back when clearing out a good few hundred books.
Will go searching.


ps £2.99 on Amazon Kindle (the alleged Wuhan version).

Well I'm pretty easily spooked..... Yup. That spooked me. . Let's hope the bit about disappearing comes true.

Well spotted Jim....... But to make things worse the "Prediction" page was taken from a self professed psychic Sylvia Browne.

So?. Was Lee Harvey Oswald. Capable of getting the shot?.
