[NEEDS TO BE UPDATED BEFORE GOING LIVE]

In the main bibliography I did not include every first UK appearance, only those with bibliographical significance. Upon the request of many collectors interested in other UK firsts, I’ve included the following checklist. Each entry includes the title, edition, publisher, year and cover price. This list was supplied by Noah Mitchell.

DeanKoontz.com:
“No Dean Koontz book has been published anywhere overseas that has not been published in the U.S. first.” However, the asterisked titles in this list were actually released in the UK prior to the US edition, though in some cases as I recall by mere days.

According to Dean:
“MY British publishers, by contract, were not supposed to publish ahead of the U.S. publisher. If they did this with those books, both I and my American publishers were unaware that the true first edition wasn’t American. The only book we have given the British publisher the permission to publish days ahead of the U.S. is Odd Apocalypse because the 2012 Olympics and the many books inspired by it presented HarperCollins with difficulty finding a viable publication window later than mid-July.”
