The Collector’s Guide to Dean Koontz is now online!
May 7, 2018
Welcome to the brand new online version of The Collector’s Guide to Dean Koontz!
What makes this version different than the previous two?
- This isn’t just a blog. The blog continues as part of this site, but there is SO MUCH MORE.
- This site contains the content of what was going to be in the many-years-late print book from Cemetery Dance Publications. There still may be a book someday, not for now, it’s all available to you, for free, here on this site.
Though today is the official launch date, there’s still a lot of content that’s not on the site yet. As of today, I’ve entered everything from G-Z with some exceptions.
For those of you that like stats, at the time of this post there are 445 guide entries containing 1,044 individual editions and the site as a whole has 1,270 images. By my estimates, only about 50% of the content is in the site right now.
Feel free to comment, submit new content, I just ask that you first read Noah Mitchell’s Foreword, my Introduction, the About the Guide page, and the FAQ, before asking too many questions. There are a lot of answers already on those pages.
In the weeks and months to come I’ll continue to enter more content slowly but surely. Be sure to keep an eye here, or on Facebook or Twitter for continuing news and new content announcements.

I’m off to the American Library Association conference in Philadelphia this week so no update next weekend. Maybe the Thomas & Mercer booth will have something more interesting than a flyer mentioning Dean’s latest title this year.

I don’t generally include info on Audible editions unless they’re exclusive. But I did notice recently that they’ve created new cover art for a bunch of Dean’s titles so I figured I share those here.

New forthcoming title! Amazon currently lists a Kindle version for January 2026 and a paperback in July 2026. I’m assuming there will be a trade hardcover and have listed it as such, but don’t know that for sure. I’ll update the entry accordingly as more information becomes available.

Important areas of the house like the kitchen are completely unpacked along with things like the TV, the network, and a new desk of my office. Things like the library will take months. I’ve completed my first full week of the day job and so far it’s going well. I’ll be somewhat slow to get back to this regularly, but when there’s something new, as there is this week, I’ll be sure to get it added ASAP.
