Not that it allows me to update anything on the site, but I’m not the proud owner of copies 137 & 133 (respectively) of the Charnel House editions of The Silent Corner and The Night Window. I wasn’t financially able to purchase these when they came out, so they’re nice additions to my collection. (And I paid significantly less than the list price!) As for actual site updates…

• “Aldous Huxley, George Orwell, Ayn Rand… and Dean Koontz?: A look back at Koontz’s ‘Dark Rivers of the Heart‘”
• From the Desk of Dean: The Other Emily: Prime members read for free, for a limited time
• The Moonlit Mind LP

Thanks to John Davis for noticing that the Useless News page was missing the August 2018 issue. Luckily, I wasn’t missing the issue, I’d just somehow skipped entering it. That error has been corrected. Oh, and I just got my hands on an ARC of The House at the End of the World.

Happy Halloween! Unfortunately, my day job’s schedule has continued to be abnormal and non-standard through this past week (this week, too) so I’ve got nothing new for you. In the meantime enjoy watching The Face of Fear TV movie from 1990.

My work week is a bit different coming up so this one’s a day early. As to the new edition of Strange Highways on audio, the basic entries have been created but they are lacking detail right now. Once those are complete, I’ll need to create and cross-reference all the entries for the included stories.

After Death comes in 2023

October 8, 2022

You heard it here first folks! After Death is slated for a July 18th release date, according to Amazon.

A modern-day Lazarus is humanity’s last hope in a breathtaking novel about the absolute powers of good and evil by Dean Koontz, the #1 New York Times bestselling master of suspense.

Michael Mace, head of security at a top-secret research facility, opens his eyes in a makeshift morgue twenty-four hours following an event in which everyone perished―including him and his best friend, Shelby Shrewsberry.

Having awakened with an extraordinary ability unlike anything he―or anyone else―has ever imagined, Michael is capable of being as elusive as a ghost. He sets out to honor his late friend by helping Nina Dozier and her son, John, whom Shelby greatly admired. Although what Michael does for Nina is life changing, his actions also evoke the wrath of John’s father, a member of one of the most vicious street gangs in Los Angeles.

But an even greater threat is descending: the Internal Security Agency’s most vicious assassin, Durand Calaphas. Calaphas will stop at nothing to get his man. If Michael dies twice, he will not live a third time.

From the tarnished glamour of Beverly Hills to the streets of South Central to a walled estate in Rancho Santa Fe, only Michael can protect Nina and John―and ensure that light survives in a rapidly darkening world.
