As mentioned last week, these omnibus editions are a bear to work with. Several more have been entered with all the relevant cross-references. But then I realized that I need to list the omnibus editions on the individual title pages. (For example, Dean Koontz: 3 Complete Novels needs to be an entry on the Intensity page.) At this point the plan is to get through creating pages for all the omnibus editions then circle back and get them listed on the individual title pages.

But also this week a package arrived with some fanzines. I’ll get to the ‘zines that have “contributions” from Dean eventually, but this week’s arrivals all things like reviews and mentions of Dean so I got those listed in the appropriate places on the site. Be sure to check them out.

• Dean Koontz: 3 Complete Novels
• Dean R. Koontz: A New Collection
• Dean R. Koontz: Three Complete Novels
• Dean R. Koontz: Thee Novels in One Volume
• Fear That Man review in Sandworm #10
• Review of “A Mouse in the Walls of the Global Village” in The Alien Critic #5
• Review of / editorial on The Pig Society in Sandworm #11
• Sandworm #14 to Ephemera
• Mention of A Werewolf Among Us in The Alien Critic #5

I spent most of this past week at the 2019 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas as part of my day job. It’s fun. It’s exhausting. But I still managed to get a few of the Omnibus editions added to the site today.

This week, most notably, I doubled the number of entries in the reviews category. I’d put money on 99.9% of visitors to this site never having heard of these piece. That being said, they all do fall under the “Dean denies these were written by him” category and I have noted as such accordingly.

Last week I discovered an issue with site on the back end and have alerted the wonderful folks who are working on a fix. It’s nothing you’ll probably notice, but I’m doing my best to stay out of their way and not add more content while they work out a solution. As a result, just the one addition this week.

• The Night Window ARC
