The key to midnight was my first Koontz read. He’s a great author and I’m working on reading all his books. I started king in 2017 and have since read almost 40 Of his books. I just started Koontz this year and I’ve already got 3 under my belt that were all great (Key to Midnight, Phantoms and Icebound).
I've Read probably 7 of Koontz books. 'The Bad Place' was my favorite! If you like Weird books..I wouldn't recommend Whispers or Dark rivers of the heart (both books sucked in my opinion). is 'The Key to Midnight' worth reading?
Lol the last minute of this video was funny as heck. With your book falling over and almost knocking down 2 other books. Your cat ripping off your curtain around your shelf. It was funny 😂
I am also a writer who has been influenced by Koontz. I got heavily into his books around 1985 or so. I was at a Waldenbooks and came to the realization that I ran out of Stephen King books. Then I saw a copy of Phantoms, a black hardcover by this fella Dean R. Koontz. I'd never heard of him before. Then I saw the blurb on the cover from Stephen King: "Gruesome...unrelenting." Well, if King felt so strongly, maybe I would to? So I bought it and dived right into it when I got home. I absolutely loved it. I then tracked down every Koontz book I could, including his early science fiction. While it wasn't bad, it wasn't great either. I then discovered they'd made a few movies out of his books, including the very schlocky, acid sci fi horror Demon Seed. The book is a lot better than the movie. Over the years I was disappointed again and again by the mediocre adaptations, where Hollywood just did whatever it wanted to with his work. But at least the books were good.
I started on Koontz because of you with Innocence. I agree about From the Corner of His Eye. Currently reading The Face (it's giving me nightmares) and I you're so right about craving his books. He's such a master story teller.
Nice collection. About half as large as mine. ;) 0:35 is sleeved on my shelf since forever. First read it back in 68, and been hooked on Koontz ever since. 0:55 Try analyzing _your first book sales, _*_in 1968 dollars._* Will be interesting to see the _true comparative difference._
During lockdown I read all of his Leigh Nichols books. All of them had similar storylines and it could’ve been one huge novel disguised as six separate books but I did enjoy each one 😷😎👍🏻
I have read "Strangers" and "Watchers" so many times, I had to replace them. Loved the "The Face of Fear"; psychological thriller with a twist. Intensity scared me to death and I was so tired when I got through it. I empathized so much with the lead character both mentally and physically it wore me out.
Glad to hear that you liked Ashley Bell. I've seen the reviews for it and it seems like a lot of people didn't like it but I started listening to a little bit of the audiobook on UA-cam and it's very intriguing and sounds like it would be good. So I think I will check it out, especially after your recommendation. I haven't read a ton of his books but most of them I've liked fairly well, most recently read False Memory and that was a good one.
*_The Face of Fear_* was turned into a Made for TV movie, with *Lee Horsley,* the guy that played _Matt Houston_ as the hero. The TV Show did a pretty good justice to the novel. *_Intensity,_* was made into a totally gripping made for TV 2-part movie, that is near impossible to find on DVD anymore. John C. McGinley plays the evil Vess to a tee! *_Sole Survivor_* is yet another novel turned into a pretty good, Made-for-TV movie. *_Demon Seed_* was a contractual obligation as a Movie Script to Novel. The novel, IMHO was much better than the film, despite my hots for Julie Christie at the time. *_Frankenstein Series_* The last three books in it were a collaborative effort. Hence the change in style. Ahh, that explains why I haven't seen your novels. They're for the Young Adult crowd. Not saying that's a bad thing at all, because there are some YA author's I enjoy immensely. Have to check you out at the library, whenever this bull manure panic over the SARS-2 virus blows over. 11:50 Your readers will say *Okay Boomer moment ahead* As a believer in Christ, I find your dismissal of our Faith to be a disturbing trend in the generations after Dean's and mine. One that has led to America's segregation & division that is destroying the very fabric that America was founded upon. Dean sees this, and is compelled to try and bring a sense of Faith back into our lives. 12:10 *Okay Apron Holder* We already established your bias against all things Christian. Something else, that I believe you are way the heck off target on, about the endings of Dean Koontz books is, _No, they are not all Happy, Cheery, Touchy-Feely_ endings. The majority of them do leave you with _Hope, Wonderment, & a Sense of Justice Persevering over Evil._
You can't expect Dean to write the same stories over and over. Then you would really have a complaint. Deans just in a slump. I got a feeling he's going to surprise everyone with something new and off the hook. Don't count him out yet!!
I dont understand why people have books they don't read or have read it and thought it was bad but yet they keep it on the book shelf. Why? Lol I would get rid of it. Btw my fav is intensity and that is the only koontz book I own.
At the moment I am reading hideaway, dragon tears, lost souls. Loving them all and hoping to pick up tick tock and Mr murder in the next couple of days. He is such such a fantastic author. Total page turning stuff.
Travis : Mr. Murder was the first Koontz book I've read. It's really good. Also Travis : I know I've read False Memory very recently let me check what it's about.
Dean Koontz is my favourite author by far coming second is Richard Layman who is like Koontz but more into the sexual part of horror. If you haven't read him give him a shot. I've read a lot of the books you reviewed. I totally went against your review of a lot. The Frankenstin books 📚 I thought the town was insanely good. Especially the hospital one. Watchers was excellent. But I will agree with you Odd Thomas was the best 👌
Travis, one of your long time viewers here, just typing up to say hello and that each time I get a notification of your latest upload I usually end up watching it within an hour. ...but while I have your attention I should mention that it would be quaint if you had a way for certain of your viewers, who are also writers, to share bits of what they had completed with you. See you in the next vid, your homie from Fort Lauderdale. Happy jingle bells.
So what would be your best book??? I loved fear nothing, I named my border collie after "Orson". I have also listened to one of the odd books I was disappointing so much that I won't listen to the rest of that series.
Wow, I’ve been a longtime (loooooongtime) Dean Koontz reader, but your collection puts me to shame. I’ve never read his early early double- sided stuff. Great video!
Yeah, he has a ton. He's been my favorite author since high school and though I own over 100 of his books, there probably are still 20 or more I don't have.
Blind Lemon Lipschitz wow! That's intense. I had no idea he had that many. I think the first book I read by Koontz was From The Corner of His Eye and that was years ago (like early high school age). I should reread it.
An old site called The Koontz Project is a good place to start if you're interested in his work. It's actually no longer online, but you can view it through Archive.org: web.archive.org/web/20161008092040/koontzproject.com It's an interesting site, even if it looks like a 90s website. Check out the Aware/Cameo section for some eye-opening stuff, then scroll to the bottom of that page and click the hidden link (press Ctrl-A to highlight it) on the bottom left of the screen for even more. =)
I dropped off Koontz about a decade or so ago, about the time Odd Hours came out. That book was so boring! I pretty much skimmed it, reading the first sentence of every paragraph just to finish it. I was tired of the sameness of his characters by then, too. If you’ve read any of his books, you know them: the man who doubts himself, his abilities, and his self-worth, the woman, beautiful, but almost completely unaware of it, with a tragic past that’s she’s overcome to become completely self reliant and awesome, and the child who is smart and wise beyond his/her years. That being said, I love so many of his books. I’ve read a lot of the early ones and golden age. My favorites used to be the ones I first read, in order. Watchers, Lightning, Midnight, Strangers. I was in high school.That’s changed a bit over the years, but I would agree, Twilight Eyes is definitely one of his best.
Ah nooooo I was enjoying this so much until you Meh’d ‘from the corner of his eye’ - by far my favourite Koontz book by a mile and I’ve read them all. Can’t continue watching now. Thanks for the 11.20 minutes though! 👍
I share this clip to the Books of Horror Facebook group whenever anyone (usually a new member) asks for K👀ntz recommendations. 👍 I just finished THE FACE OF FEAR.
Your name is pretty accurate. You _and the 3 likes,_ all missed out on what happened in the story. Do you need your hand held for a walk through? hahahaha
How about ELSEWHERE? Just finished that book. A simple read and predictable, but a nice escape. I don't generally like books where the main characters just go from one crisis to another until the final page. It reminds me of old 1940's movie serials or Edgar Rice Burroughs - no real plot other than the main characters getting out of 1 jam and then falling immediately into another jam. When I read this kind of book, I keep wondering when there will be a PLOT other than good guys running from bad guys. I admit that by the time I had read two thirds of ELSEWHERE, I just wanted to jump to the last chapter where everyone lived happily ever after. I was tired of one episode of violence after another as the good guys were constantly on the run. I want a lot more from a book than this.
I literally am shocked that we agree on just about every Koontz book. Other than I did not like the bad place and I loved from the corner of his eye I completely agree with your take on every other book. Don’t bother wasting your time with the city, it does not get any better. It’s just plain terrible.
Hi travis! I've been reading Stephen king for a while now and I've been thinking about starting to read some koontz. Which book would you recommend to read first?
im not travis but since he didnt answer i would say depends what you are into, if you want scary try the voice of the night and it is kind of like a stephen king novel. i hear intensity is awesome i havent read it yet but for fast paced action try velocity or the good guy and if you want heart touching story but with action lightning,from the corner of his eye or cold fire are good if you want a really good well written with spooks and creeps try odd thomas if you like some humor and action life expectancy or relentless
@@dadafish1 What is wrong with you so what he likes koontz it doesn't matter what author you like I like koontz and king and they both makes me want to write but I would not want to take writing tips from koontz just king so it dose not matter what he likes he likes what he likes... Jess!!!!!
It’s actually a nice change of pace in terms of religion. King is an atheist as are most authors nowadays so Koontz being catholic is no more preachy than king who has kind of become a nut these days on Twitter
Sorry but Fear Nothing is the first in the Moonlight Bay series, not the second. You also missed One Door away from Heaven and the servants of twilight came out a lot earlier.
My first was watchers I’ve read a few more since, he isn’t my favourite his character work is poor but on the most part he spins a good yarn, I’m a king man through through but I appreciate Koontz
I'm trying to find a book by Dean Koontz around the year 2011. A SPIRIT ATTACHES TO this man and he brings it into his house where it ATTACHES to his son to get to his son's daughter. I read this book years ago and forgot the title . I want to reread it again.
Phantoms is actually my fav. book! I have really only read most of his "Golden Age" books. I want to reread them since it has been awhile. I reread Phantoms this year and still love it. I also read Intensity for the first time this year and you are right....it's intense. The Killers "Logic" of killing was interesting and well told! (LOL about the Moose) I loved Watchers (Einstein the dog!) and Servants of Twilight as a teen too! Great vid, I did not know he had an earlier sci-fi writing career!
Whispers ... my absolute favorite.
a PHENOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMENAL read
I found a copy of twilight eyes in a truck stop at 2am...so I took it...
The key to midnight was my first Koontz read. He’s a great author and I’m working on reading all his books. I started king in 2017 and have since read almost 40
Of his books. I just started Koontz this year and I’ve already got 3 under my belt that were all great (Key to Midnight, Phantoms and Icebound).
I've Read probably 7 of Koontz books. 'The Bad Place' was my favorite! If you like Weird books..I wouldn't recommend Whispers or Dark rivers of the heart (both books sucked in my opinion). is 'The Key to Midnight' worth reading?
@@elcheekoful o yea it’s worth it! I read the original version and I don’t know what the updated version is like but it was very good.
I just started reading koontz. Loving it.
The face of fear is a tension building thriller. Currently reading this one.
The funhouse was my first Koontz book back in 6th grade, the bat scene scarred me for life
I daydream about having my own library
"Dragon Tears" was the very first Koontz novel that I read and I have been hooked every since. He probably my favorite author.
Lol the last minute of this video was funny as heck. With your book falling over and almost knocking down 2 other books. Your cat ripping off your curtain around your shelf. It was funny 😂
I just finished intensity and it’s my first Koontz. You’re amazing for doing this video.
I started with Key to Midnight. I think that his best are the "early Koontz". I love The Funhouse.
I am also a writer who has been influenced by Koontz. I got heavily into his books around 1985 or so. I was at a Waldenbooks and came to the realization that I ran out of Stephen King books.

Over the years I was disappointed again and again by the mediocre adaptations, where Hollywood just did whatever it wanted to with his work. But at least the books were good.
I like the first and second Odd Thomas novels I haven't read the others yet
I love Dean Koontz, he is fing awesome...the Frankenstein series was my fav, also "from the corner of his eye" was also one of my favs!!!
'From the corner of his eye' is my favorite BOOK EVER! I loved his Frankenstein ❤
Ok, I'm pretty sure there's Mr. Murder somewhere in my father's old books. I'm gonna find it and I'm gonna read it as my first.
Thanks that was very informative, I used to read Koontz, in the golden era and some early, but I am more die hard Stephen King
Imagine having to pick one or the other
It in 1986 was the last great King book. His stuff since doesn't do much for me.
I like them both
I started on Koontz because of you with Innocence. I agree about From the Corner of His Eye. Currently reading The Face (it's giving me nightmares) and I you're so right about craving his books. He's such a master story teller.
I loved the corner of his eye. I found it somewhat amusing!!
Midnight is the one that started my Koontz binge
If you read one book a week for your entire adult life it would average a little over 3100 books.
So choose your books wisely.
Intensity was the first Koontz book I read and now I’m hooked
Nice collection. About half as large as mine. ;) 0:35 is sleeved on my shelf since forever. First read it back in 68, and been hooked on Koontz ever since.
0:55 Try analyzing _your first book sales, _*_in 1968 dollars._* Will be interesting to see the _true comparative difference._
Excellent! I've been wanting to read more Dean Koontz books. Now I know which ones to go for!
read by the light of the moon. i liked it a lot!
Fear Nothing is the 1st Chris Snow book, then its Seize the night. The third book Ride the storm is apparently still being written!😎👍🏻
During lockdown I read all of his Leigh Nichols books. All of them had similar storylines and it could’ve been one huge novel disguised as six separate books but I did enjoy each one 😷😎👍🏻
77 Shadow Street... You didn’t have that one??!! 😎😁
I have read "Strangers" and "Watchers" so many times, I had to replace them. Loved the "The Face of Fear"; psychological thriller with a twist. Intensity scared me to death and I was so tired when I got through it. I empathized so much with the lead character both mentally and physically it wore me out.
The Bad Place kicked ass. My first Koontz read
Thanks for this! I have a few of his books and ready to dig into some so curious which ones you liked best! You let me know!
Glad to hear that you liked Ashley Bell. I've seen the reviews for it and it seems like a lot of people didn't like it but I started listening to a little bit of the audiobook on UA-cam and it's very intriguing and sounds like it would be good.

Koontz is a great and underrated writer.
Koontz is a good overrated author.
That little insert with Koontz saying grace a lot had me cracking up, dunno why!
Started with Watchers...in my teens. Loved it. The re-read was ok....just finished By the light of the moon....excited to read another.

Odd Apocalypse was one of the better ones! Had some Sci fi tones and enjoyed that one. Good video will read a few of these you mentioned. Thanks
Agree.
Watchers was the first novel I ever read, I was in like 4th grade, maybe a little young but it got me into reading
I have The Funhouse published under Owen West. The first Dean Koontz book I've ever read.
Thanks to you I'm reading Ms.Murder my first book by koontz and I love it
One door away from heaven was my favorite it got me into dean koontz now I'm readin false memory
"Breatheless.. this is a piece of shit" I CRACKED UP 😂😂😂😂
I dont understand why people have books they don't read or have read it and thought it was bad but yet they keep it on the book shelf. Why? Lol I would get rid of it. Btw my fav is intensity and that is the only koontz book I own.

Great video. Loved Dragon Tears as well read that in like a day and a half. That and Twilight Eyers are top two books i like
The way you used the word grace is so funny 🤣
Hardcover of course
Mr. Murder was my first Koontz book too. I recently reviewed " What the Night Knows" on Goodreads.

Have you read One door away from heaven?
Twilight eyes was great
Corner of his eyes is my favorite
“It was pretty much the rapture turned into a popular novel.”
pretty sure that’s Left Behind
So what would be your best book??? I loved fear nothing, I named my border collie after "Orson". I have also listened to one of the odd books I was disappointing so much that I won't listen to the rest of that series.
Nice collection, but disappointed you didn’t show us the step-back covers.
The Door to December, aka Eleven; the novel.
Wow, I’ve been a longtime (loooooongtime) Dean Koontz reader, but your collection puts me to shame. I’ve never read his early early double- sided stuff. Great video!
Fear nothing is the first book in the moonlight bay trilogy seize the night is second
Thanks for posting this. Had no idea he had that many books to his name.
He actually has a lot more than that. Dude was a writing machine for the first couple decades of his career.
Blind Lemon Lipschitz I had no idea. Even learned about his earlier writing from this video.
Yeah, he has a ton. He's been my favorite author since high school and though I own over 100 of his books, there probably are still 20 or more I don't have.

Nice collection! Great author.
One thing though - I thought Fear Nothing came before Seize The Night?
It was seize the night then fear nothing then the upcoming riding the storm
Fear Nothing is first, then Seize the Night. He’s in error in the video.
really from about..... OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH, twilight eyes,
I read Breathless too... And same reaction. WTF! Nothing happen in the whole book.
Your name is pretty accurate. You _and the 3 likes,_ all missed out on what happened in the story. Do you need your hand held for a walk through? hahahaha
You got the chris snow trilogy wrong fear nothing is first and seize the night is second
I can’t get into his writing I’ve tried so hard but he just doesn’t click with me at all did really like watchers. I just can’t get into his books.
PS I decided to try again and I’m loving twilight eyes

Hey Travis! Which of his books would you recommend to someone (a writer) who hasn't read any Koontz?
Can't go wrong with Mr. Murder!
NewLondoFont Writing Phantoms or Winter Moon
Wow a real life author!
Maybe avoid koontz unless you write like shit.
@@dadafish1 What is wrong with you so what he likes koontz it doesn't matter what author you like I like koontz and king and they both makes me want to write but I would not want to take writing tips from koontz just king so it dose not matter what he likes he likes what he likes...
Jess!!!!!
@@Travismcbee I agree Mr. Murder was a Classic!
I heard The Mask is really bad. Might explain why you don't remember it
It’s actually a nice change of pace in terms of religion. King is an atheist as are most authors nowadays so Koontz being catholic is no more preachy than king who has kind of become a nut these days on Twitter

I collect Stephen King and my husband Dean koontz 👍🏻
You are cute! 😅
My favorites are the 2 Christopher Snow/Moonlight Bay novels (best dog ever), and the Odd Thomas books.
10:14
My first was watchers I’ve read a few more since, he isn’t my favourite his character work is poor but on the most part he spins a good yarn, I’m a king man through through but I appreciate Koontz
Does he have to pee??????
Cat toy..
I'm trying to find a book by Dean Koontz around the year 2011. A SPIRIT ATTACHES TO this man and he brings it into his house where it ATTACHES to his son to get to his son's daughter. I read this book years ago and forgot the title . I want to reread it again.
Who is here because of Covid-19?????
These are kindergarten names for books. Lightening, Watchers, Hideaway, Intensity. They don’t sound scary at all.
You read the contents not the title.
If you are offended by the word Grace. Then perhaps the problem is you not Koontz.
Why do you purposely talk like you have mucus in your nose lol
Phantoms is actually my fav. book! I have really only read most of his "Golden Age" books. I want to reread them since it has been awhile. I reread Phantoms this year and still love it. I also read Intensity for the first time this year and you are right....it's intense. The Killers "Logic" of killing was interesting and well told! (LOL about the Moose) I loved Watchers (Einstein the dog!) and Servants of Twilight as a teen too! Great vid, I did not know he had an earlier sci-fi writing career!
