Convicted Husband Killer Wendi Davidson: “Dean Koontz couldn’t make this up.”
May 16, 2022
The 20/20 episode ‘Dead Man Talking’ investigates the incredible story of former Texas veterinarian Wendi Mae Davidson who was accused of murdering her military hero husband, U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Michael Severance, in 2005. In 2006, she pleaded no contest to first-degree murder and two counts of tampering with evidence, and was sentenced to 25 years in prison.
Gutman says in the clip that Wendi, who comes to the interview in a bright white prison jumpsuit and red lipstick, “doesn’t look or act like any of the killers I’ve talked to.”
In [this Facebook] video, she smiles and laughs about “how crazy” things were and says even crime writer Dean Koontz “couldn’t make this up.”

If there’s no other proof as to me being a completist, it’s the fact that I spent money on an ebook “unmasking Dean Koontz´ [sic] prophecy.” Please spare yourself from this drivel.

Plenty of new items this week ranging from 1969 to 2022. And, in site news, Appendix G was getting too large for WordPress to handle properly, so I’ve split it into two: G(1), which covers 1969-1999, and G(2), which covers 2000-present. It’s not the most elegant solution, but it was the best one I could come up with.
- Afterword to The Key to Midnight POD Trade Paperback
- The Eyes of Darkness POD Trade Paperback
- Frankenstein screenplay lettered edition photo here and here
- The House at the End of the World mentioned in the April 2022 issue of Locus
- Gothic Blimp Works as in the February 14, 1969 issue of The East Village Other to Appendix G(1)
- The Key to Midnight POD Trade Paperback
- Changed The Servants of Twilight “bootlegs” to POD
- Changed The Voice of the Night “bootleg” to POD
Bootlegs or Just Poorly Done Amazon Print-on-demand?
May 1, 2022
The following titles have had some interesting reprints lately:
When the first two of them were released I that these were bootleg editions that someone who wasn’t authorized to sell these editions for the following reasons:
- There is no cover price listed on the books.
- The copyright pages are woefully incomplete.
- They contain no statement of printing.
- There is a print-on-demand barcode on the last page.
- The publisher is listed as “Independently Published”.
- The Also By Dean Koontz page on The Voice of the Night lists “The Darkest Evening of the Yea”, a pretty significant typo.
But as more of them have been released, I’m starting to reconsider the bootleg status of these editions for these reasons:
- Now that there are four, you’d think someone would have noticed by now and put a stop to it.
- The cover art on The Voice of the Night and The Eyes of Darkness both match the cover art for obviously legitimately released audiobook editions (Eyes forthcoming) from Brilliance Audio. I can’t imagine someone also bootlegging the art without someone noticing.
So, that’s where I stand on this issue right now. I’ll post updates if/when more information becomes available and/or additional evidence becomes available.
Looks like Jim Butcher is a Koontz fan

This week’s biggest news is that I’m starting to dive back into fanzine content again. As I’ve explained before, this stuff is complicated due to many factors, mostly due to the cross-references between issues regarding letters, responses, and the responses to responses. This week I started focusing on SF Opinion, the fanzine that Dean published in the late 60s. For now, there are just placeholder pages. Over the coming weeks and months, I’ll be filling in the issues and adding the individual content entries. I’d love to get one done per week, but no promises. (If you’re a Vaughn Bodē fan, you’re gonna want to check these out.)
- Dean Koontz in conversation with Tess Gerritsen to Appendix B
- The House at the End of the World release date, temp Amazon cover, and initial audiobook information
- Meet Quinn Quicksilver Instagram video
- The proposed Nameless TV series now has an entry.
