I think he's changing and improving. Although I did love the Family Guy where they hit somebody, was afraid it had been Steven King, but when they found out it was Koontz they backed over him and ran him over one more time.
That was brian. i laughed my ass off when i saw that, i have always heard Koontz described as the "poor man's steven king".


I was actually heavily influenced by koontz when i first started writing seriously. Bearwood started off being influenced by him, but then i saw Se7en, and that changed everything. I started growing bored with Koontz, and began just rereading the stuff i liked.

needkless to say, pretty much everythigni started back in my "Koontz" days has long since been scrapped and never revisited.
