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 annual conference midweek and won’t be back until mid-next week. So, no update next Sunday, and maybe not the one after that. Based on the past two conferences, Amazon will be there, but don’t expect anything Koontz-related from them other than maybe a flyer with the next cover on it.

The knee replacement is healing nicely so sitting at a desk was a lot more comfortable this week. Also, when new items arrive, they tend to take priority over adding things from the archives.

Still recovering from my knee replacement, so I’m not up to a lot of at-desk work. However, a little gem about a remake of The Funhouse was posted on Reddit. Shown here and on the link below.

The new knee is healing well, but I’m still not up for extended time at a desk. However, I still have these two new items for you this week.

Dean Koontz on Becoming a Bestseller Hard Truths Every Writer Needs to Hear

This week, I’ll be having full replacement surgery on my left knee. I’m told I’ll be on some serious pain meds for at least a week. So please don’t expect any updates next week. I do plan to pre-schedule some Throwback Thursday posts, so keep an eye out for them. In the meantime, enjoy this recent interview.

Just one new item this week with an interesting/unique copyright statement that includes “…the Koontz Living Trust dated July 11, 1994”. This definitely implies that the trust has been around quite a while, even though it’s only been the holder of new copyrights for a few years now.
