I like Dean Koonz's ideas but I don't think he is a particularily good writer......I think SK is much better. IMO.....
I read some Harlen Ellison along time ago..was told if I liked SK I would really like his stuff. It was excellent, but I can't find his books anymore. |

More of a short story writer though .. and more 'alternative fiction' than horror. Koontz wrote some decent sci-fi ages ago .. which is why i dont mind the newer stuff he wrote with a sci-fi bent .. But as far as his other books go .. they're the same as most of the big seller horror author - full of tired cliches and poorly drawn characters. Light bathroom reading ... |

I liked Lightning. Otherwise I'm a King man.

i like both authors. i've been reading stephen king since i was 16. Koontz is more of a suspense writer with an intellectual edge. king writes horror with better character studies.

other koontz books which i enjoyed are "watchers" (the best IMO), "phantoms", "intensity" (HIGHLY recommended), "servants of twilight" and "the face of fear". |
