“Stephen King made me want to become a writer. Dean Koontz made me realize I could become a writter”.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
One of the few times Family Guy made me laugh

I’ve read a couple of Dean’s books and I don’t regret it, but also didn’t find them that good.
Outside a couple of disappointments, everything I’ve read from King has ranged from really good (Salems lot, tommyknockers, etc) to outstanding (the dark tower series, the tailsman).
Same. The only series of Dean’s I think I liked was Odd Thomas and I read them years ago.
One of my neighbors named their daughter “Stormy” after Odd Thomas’s >!dead!< girlfriend. When I asked him if he and his wife were big fans of the books, he said that they’d never read the books before. But they’d seen the movie.
He told me this several years ago and it still annoys me to this day.
Is there any rivalry going on?
I read books from both and other than Kings super fame there is not much difference. I don’t prefer either.
I would like to nominate this comment for hot take of the year.
