Dean Koontz writes psychological
horror stories. He has some of the nastiest fictional antagonists that
relish in playing mental games with the protagonist. Once the mental
games are done, then they start with the physical abuse. Both his hardcover and paperback books
have enjoyed New York Times bestseller status on a number of occasions.
In many of Koontz’s stories, dogs
play a significant role. He was
deeply attached to his golden retriever, Trixie. He has several story lines and product lines in memory of
Trixie. She died in 2007. The proceeds from these lines go to
Canine Companions for Independence.
In addition to his other stories,
Koontz is currently writing two series – the Odd Thomas series and the
Frankenstein series. These stories
are in traditional text and graphic novels. The Odd Thomas character sees the dead, and Frankenstein is
a modern adaptation of Mary Shelley’s classic.
