My latest Vaughn Bodē / Dean Koontz find…

The Vaughn Bodē Index

February 12, 2017

Here’s another one that’s been on my want list for a while. Not that I couldn’t find a copy, just that most were selling for way more than I was willing to pay. Well, I’ve been going through it and let’s just say that I wish I’d not waited so long and that there are one or two previously unknown to me items now on the way to my collection. More details to follow.

Demon Seed on Blu-ray

The Whispering Room

February 10, 2017

Did you see this on Dean’s blog post about The Silent Corner?

I had so much fun with Jane that I knew at the end of THE SILENT CORNER that I had only begun to peel the layers of this fascinating character. I have now finished the second book with her, THE WHISPERING ROOM, and I had even more fun with this one. What Jane has to face this time is beyond daunting, beyond just terrifying, and had me anxiety breathing through the last half of the book. Elsa, our dog, had to calm me by giving me belly rubs, a rather embarrassing role reversal.

There’s no Amazon listing or any other I can find but I’ll be sure to post more as info is released.

Author Dean Koontz Signs With Brillstein, Inkwell

January 9, 2017

Author Dean Koontz has signed with New York-based lit boutique Inkwell Management in all areas, and with Brillstein Entertainment Partners for film and television. Koontz, who has sold over 500 million books in 38 languages, has been without agency representation for several years, so look for him to become more active in having his thriller novels adapted. He had been and continues to be lawyered by Richard Heller at Frankfurt Kurnit Klein & Selz. Inkwell’s Richard Pine and Kim Witherspoon, and Brillstein’s Jon Liebman and Missy Malkin are his new reps.

A Christmas Book to Remember

Dean is one of the Fab 40

December 19, 2016

During a recent stop at George’s Song Shop in downtown Johnstown, I got some advice from the man himself.
John George, a local historian as well as a merchant and music buff, really liked a recent series in The Tribune-Democrat featuring individuals who had made their mark in the Johnstown region, or who were from here and had gone on to success in various fields.
You should turn that into a book, George suggested – then was pleased to learn that his idea was already in the works.
Now, the book “Fab 40” is available just in time for the holidays.
The title is actually a bit of a misnomer. “Fab 40” contains 80 profiles – 40 featuring local icons of sports and another 40 for individuals in entertainment, business and science.
Robin Quillon, publisher of both The Tribune-Democrat and Johnstown Magazine, was looking to produce a compact book in the “flip” format – two covers, two themes.
So, you can start reading “Fab 40” from either end.

Peter O'Toole: The Definitive Biography

November 23, 2016

There’s not as much as I was led to believe about Phantoms in this book but there is a quote from Dean.

'Peter O'Toole' captures what was unique about the enduring star

November 15, 2016

Yet it was arguably O’Toole’s persona – more than his chops as an actor per se – which left the biggest impression on audiences. Whether cast in roles swashbuckling (as the globe-trotting hero in 1962’s “Lawrence of Arabia”) or studious (as the courtly teacher to Chinese Emperor Pu Yi in 1987’s “The Last Emperor”), O’Toole frequently came across as variants of the same man: svelte, dashing, somewhat impetuous.
The point is nicely expressed in a passage in Peter O’Toole: The Definitive Biography, an accurately – if self-aggrandizingly – titled book by Robert Sellers. Discussing the rationale behind casting the actor in “The Last Emperor,” producer Jeremy Thomas itemizes the salient aspects of O’Toole’s façade: “He was the symbol of Western style, in a top hat and tails, and very statuesque with a great clarity of speech.”
…
Of course, many of the films O’Toole made in the late 1980s and 1990s were beneath his station. Happily, however, Sellers recognizes that O’Toole brought authority to even the silliest projects. “His name and presence could still add gravitas to any production,” Sellers writes, and a fine case study is made of the two-bit science-fiction film “Phantoms” (1998): O’Toole is described as being genuinely respectful of the screenplay by Dean Koontz and acing a long monologue shot during a snowfall. And although “Supergirl” (1984) is blithely dismissed in a single line, the actor’s function in that film is roughly equivalent to that of Marlon Brando in “Superman” (1978) – he is there to supply a certain stateliness to a pop-culture product, and he does so with panache.

Woodstock Framing Gallery features exhibit of iconic rock photos from original negatives

November 14, 2016

Joe Stefko, who’ll speak about the collection of rock photos drawn from original negatives that he’s exhibiting (and selling from) at Woodstock Framing Gallery, 4 p.m. Saturday, November 5, stood in front of a pristine print of what the rest of us know as Michael Cooper’s cover for the Rolling Stones’ Their Satanic Majesties’ Request. Around him are other Cooper prints from The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper album shoot, Bob Whitaker’s back cover image from Revolver, iconic shots of T Rex and Iggy Pop, early Beatles photos, John Lennon lithographs, and the pubescent redhead with an airplane that came out on a few hastily-withdrawn covers of Blind Faith’s only album, signed by the girl herself…
It was around the same time that the drummer began designing limited edition books; he currently works with three exclusive authors: Harlan Ellison, Dean Koontz and Tim Powers. He’d already gotten into collecting books while touring with The Turtles.

Dean's birthday note to someone who hates his books

October 4, 2016

My friend doesn’t like Dean Koontz. I asked for an autographed headshot that read “F*CK YOU!” so I could give it as a birthday gift. He sent me this instead. Good guy Dean Koontz.
