He’s a prolific writer and in the early days used aliases, e.g. Brian Coffey, Aaron Wolfe, Anthony North, etc. From 1968-2010 he’s written approx 74 books, various series, collections and two graphic novels. His most recent hardback is “What The Night Knows” and a forthcoming paperback is “The Dead Town” book 5 in the re-worked classic Frankenstein series, oddly set in New Orleans.
As suspense novelists go, I’d place him high on the ladder. To answer your question, I like his "Odd Thomas" series, good characters, high tension and gripping plots.

I havent read that one yet im afraid but im sure someone here has and will be able to give you some feedback!Ashleyt_714 wrote:i haven't yet.. i guess i'll have to add it to my list of books to pick up lol im on a Stephen King kick right now. the next Koontz book in my stack is The Darkest Evening of the Year, do you know if its any good?
@Jacob, yes, Relentless was very enjoyable, a real thrill a minute story, its hard to keep a readers attention in a horror book from start to end but this book manages it.

The Husband was another good read - would recommend.
I find him a bit hit and miss, but always worth a shot.

I have just noticed that the 5th Frankenstein book is out. I haven't read any in the series and just wanted to see how they rated before starting them.

Then there are the very few Jack Ketchums out there. Now THAT man must be a bit twisted - but in a good way... The blood and gore in his books do not put me off at all. Suspense is always there and a strange turn of events. I wish he'd write more. I know that is a pen name so he probably writes in his given name - I will have to check...
I am a book collector and have a large collection of signed Koontz books. I generally collect signed books by authors I especially like - I have a lot of Clive Barker, also. (and Ketchum...)
