A 1981 novel by horror writer Dean Koontz predicted the coronavirus outbreak, it has been claimed.
Buried in the book The Eyes of Darkness, which revolves around a grieving mother investigating the mysterious circumstances of her son’s death, is a peculiar reference to a killer virus known as “Wuhan-400”, the name of the city where the coronavirus originated.
The excerpt features a character discussing biological warfare, calling the virus “the perfect weapon”.
“A Chinese scientist … defected to the United States, carrying a diskette record of China’s most important and dangerous new biological weapon in a decade,” the character says.
“They call the stuff ‘Wuhan-400’ because it was developed at their RDNA labs outside the city of Wuhan.”
