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.
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.

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.

Sorry folks. Something went from zero to 60 resulting from an unexpected email several days ago having nothing to do with this site. Yet, it is eating a lot of my time. If it pans out, I’ll let you all know.
Meanwhile here’s a non-Thursday throwback:
