Morning to you Beach,

I'm rereading Nightfall, the voodoo book.

I just discovered Koontz about 2 years ago. I was amazed to discover he was so prolific. I had been buying 1 or 2 at a time when I couldn't borrow his work from the girls at work.

We just had a "Books, CD's and Records for Half Price" I bought about 10 of them. I still have a way to go to get caught up with his existing body of work before I can anticipate his new stuff.

I much prefer Koontz to Stephen King. King spins a good tale but I despise investing 600 pages in a character to only have them get slaughtered in the end. I swore off King with The Tommyknockers.

Yup, I started with King years ago with IT. But over time, even though I really enjoy most of his books, I've gotten bored with reading 500+ pages. Plus, he's had some really bad stories in my opinion (example: Gerald's Game). My favorite is "The Talisman" and "The Stand." I'm waiting now for the final book(s) of the Gunslinger series. I hope he manages to shorten the stories near the end.

I too discovered Kuntz about 2-3 years ago. His later writing has gotten much better. I read one of his old stories (name????) and was kind of "OMG, what's he doing writing this was?" Had some very graphic sexual content. He doesn't do that nowadays! If he has a new one out I try to grab it and read it in between semesters.

Have you read the one with the Experimenta Dog? Where the dog has a high IQ?
