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?

  1. This isn’t just a blog. The blog continues as part of this site, but there is SO MUCH MORE.
  2. 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.

New cover art from Audible

June 4, 2025

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.

The Friend of the Family (Amazon placeholder cover)

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.

From the Desk of Dean - cropped

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.

I’ve made it to Logan, UT

March 16, 2025

Just so no one thinks I fell off the planet, I can report that the wife and I have made it to Logan, UT. We’ve also successfully hooked up to the Internet along with set the home network. (Nothing is in it final location as per the photos below.) However, none of the books, furniture, or anything else is here yet. That truck arrives on Wednesday. The a week from tomorrow start my new job. So, please continue to be patient as it will probably be an additional few weeks before I can get back here for significant updates.

Our new neighborhood.
1GB Xfinity Internet
My desktop. (Yes, my new home came with a woodshop.)

The Big Announcement

February 25, 2025

After nearly 10 years with Do Space, it is time for me to move on. This Friday will be my last day. Working with everyone at Do Space and the new Omaha Central Library project has been a fantastic experience, and I would not have been able to take this next step without all of their help and friendship over the years.

Starting March 24, 2025, I will be the Director of the Logan Library in Logan, UT.

This Page Intentionally Left Blank

Sorry folks, no updates or additions and maybe not any for a little while. Yes, the thing happened but I still can’t share the full story. What I can say is the I’m leaving Nebraska for a new job in another state. Cue packing nearly 10,000 books and everything else we own; selling this house and buying another in another state. I’m a little busy. But, I am not abandoning this site or the overall project. More details to come once they’re public. Thanks for your patience in the meantime.
