Dean Koontz

I have been reading Dean Koontz books since I was in grade school, I believe my dad handed me my first one (Lightning - I also re-read this for a second time several months ago) in Grade 7 or 8, and since then I've been hooked.  Although most of these books were beyond my readng level and not exactly age appropriate I enjoyed them very much none the less.  I think anyone from the ages 15-100 could read these books; while there are very mature themes contantly being presented in the book there is little swearing, 'provacative' scenes and even the gore isn't OVERLY described.  The stories are supurb, Dean Koontz is a man that knows how to write a good story and he delivers it!  While his books mainly horror/thriller he delivers them in many different ways.  Anywhere from a psychopathic killer to someone who has been mutated and thirsty for blood; aliens to haunting monsters; out of body experience to mind control.  Dean Koontz has a broad spectrum from which he pulls his creativety from. He will send chills down your spine as you fly through the pages of his books!  If you are looking for good scary books, look no further, well... -maybe go look on amazon to buy them - you get what I mean!


Not including novella's/graphic novels/short stories or books about his dog Trixie.  All red books are one's I've read, all fushia books are my favourites, all *monster, *alien, *human, and *other.  Some of the novels don't have stars next to them and this is because it's been so long since I read it, I'm not exactly sure what to lump it under.
