This is all the fault of the
FREE/BARGAIN - Horror/Supernatural thread, I swear...
In that thread,
Phantoms by Dean R. Koontz (it was a book from back when he had a middle initial) went on sale. That started a mini-discussion.
I mentioned liking
Whispers,
Phantoms, and
Watchers the most. At the time, I didn't remember reading
Lightning, but after reading about it, I'm sure I did read it, and it was kind of bonkers! And how come I forgot to mention
Midnight?!
So now I am nostalgic and wondering which Dean Koontz books I should read that I missed. I was reading him the the 1990s, but I didn't end up reading some of his most popular books (like
Intensity).
And which of the books I loved I should re-read first?!
Note: More recently, I read
Your Heart Belongs to Me and liked parts of it (the subtle creepiness) -- but was put off by how it was handled. (I
reviewed it for AAR.) I haven't gotten into the
Odd Thomas series.
And I am nostalgic for some of his even earlier stuff:
The Face of Fear,
The Vision,
Night Chills, and
The Key to Midnight. I also liked
The Voice of the Night (but forgot to mention it). I recently learned several of them are available on Kindle Unlimited!
The most obscure Koontz book I might own is a battered copy of
How to Write Best-Selling Fiction.
It's a rare one, but my copy is probably worth a lot less because I
wrote notes about my own story in it.
