Great idea for a thread!

Because he is awesome. Nuff said.

Here's a Koontzian blog post I wrote last year:

Nice J.S.!

Love it JS!

I like Dean Kountz I think because he is different from King. (King is the King)There were many people who always seemed to compare the 2 and you really just can't. Their writing styles are so different. Koontz is more a thriller/suspense writer, imo. And that is another favorite genre of mine. Some of my favorites are Whispers, Watchers, Intensity, and the Frankenstein series which I read the first 3.

I agree with that. It bothers me how people are constantly comparing the two. It would be like comparing J.K. Rowling and Suzanne Collins. Yes they're both popular YA authors, but the similarity ends there. Maybe K & K get compared so often because they write about a lot of supernatural things.

That could be too JS. I just get tired of hearing it. My favorite paranormal writer is Graham Masterton. No one does like he does! WOOT! LOL

I think they are compared due to their success if nothing else. They're the two most successful male authors in the pop-fiction American zeitgeist. I'm not even sure who I've read more of.

That is probably true Chuck and I agree, But I think I have read more King than Koontz. I like them both a lot.

I have too. My profile stats for most read authors says:

1 Stephen King 34
2 Dean Koontz 31

I do like King more, but I like Koontz a lot, too.

My stats are:

1 Dean Koontz 31
2 Ted Dekker 21
3 Stephen King 14

I've been reading Koontz since I was a teen. I've corresponded with him by mail, have an autographed picture of him and his dog...

is my favorite Koontz novel.

I love Fear Nothing and Seize the Night!

Yeah, I love Fear Nothing, too. Christopher Snow is an amazing young man, IMO. I just need to read Seize The Night.

Yes, he's a very interesting character. I hope you get to.

Me, too. I miss the characters.. and you can't forget the rhesus monkeys.:) Creepy!

Yes, very creepy!

:)

Want to know who else is creepy? Bruno Frye from Whispers. You'll see what I mean when you read it.

Yeah can we say YIKES! He does creep me out and I am not even halfway through the book. I am sure I am in for one heck of a ride!

Yes you are Janie! A very well written villain.

I will get back to that one in a little bit.

Good :-)

I'd like to read Whispers, Holly.

It is a treat Dustin, I will have it finished tonight some time, gonna finish NOS4A2 first.

You'd enjoy it Dustin. It's a wild ride!

Oh wow, you're almost done with NOS4A2, Janie!?! Wait a mine, why am I surprised?:)

I'll definitely have to check out Whispers sometime. Maybe our library has a copy!
