I read exactly one Dean Koontz book and it was about an evil literary critic who tortures the author with a taser in the first few chapters. He is later revealed to be an actual ghost

Kudos to Dean for monetizing a night terror, but he should have been given AI video creation and tiktok voiceovers to express that. I can't remember another time I got Library Lender's Remorse.

One Dean Koontz book isn't a great sample size. He writes a LOT and most of it isn't very good, but every once in a while he gets it just right and puts out a really good one.

Though tbf, I haven't re-read his stuff in probably 10 years so I don't know if it holds up to modern scrutiny. Odd Thomas was always my favorite of his.

The Frankenstein series was good as well.
