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 American Library Association was a blast and very exhausting once again. Walking around a six-week-old knee didn’t exactly help. Amazon didn’t even have a flyer featuring Dean this year, so no satisfaction on that front. I’m still digging out of my emails and cataloging all the ARCs I brought home, so I’ve had time for just one new entry this week. However, I have half a dozen things on deck, including a fun announcement for next week. Stay tuned.

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.

- Pre-release The Night Window trade paperback
