Notes

In my personal collection I have a copy of the Bantam hardcover edition that is more blue than green. At first I believed this was a case of Bantam having printed two different colored covers. However, in comparing the photo of Dean and Trixie on the dj back, I believe this to be a printing error that got through.

A full-page ad for this title appears on page 5 of the January/February 2003 issue of Pages: The Magazine for People Who Love Books. This issue also includes and article about Dean.

From The Mammoth Book of Best New Horror edited by Stephen Jones
Carroll & Graf, 2003, p3
”From Dean Koontz, By the Light of the Moon involved an artist and a female comedian caught up in a mad doctor’s bizarre experiments. It has a 525,000 first printing.”
