I discovered him when I ran out of SK books long ago. My all time favorite is Watchers. If you are an animal lover, it's just great.
The creepiest one I remember was Midnight. I didn't sleep that night, and later, kept imagining my son becoming part computer....

My fav Dean Koontz are From the Corner of His Eye, By the Light of the Moon, and the Odd Thomas series, Life Expectancy, One Door Away from Heaven. Shoot, pretty much all of them.

I love a lot of his books but I think my favorite is "Lightning."

I loved his earlier books but thought he jumped the shark about the time of "From the Corner of His Eye"

Intensity. Best Dean Koontz book!
Although I loved Watchers too. It was so sweet.

Brightbeauty loves Dean Koontz. I had never been interested in him (or Stephen King). I picked up "Frankenstein: Prodigal Son" at the used bookstore recently and it's the best thing I've read in a while. Quick and fun--it's brain candy!
I thought I'd be more awesome.

I loved the Frankenstein books!
A lot of people like the Odd Thomas books. I thought they were ok but couldn't really get into them.

Dean Koontz is all over the map.
If you want to never ever EVER sleep again, I recommend "The Taking."
I second wb's "Lightning" recommendation - that one is epic.
His "Odd Thomas" books are a kinda Stephen Kingish, but not quite as detailed (or complicated, if you will)

I'm going to have to agree with you there, Jana!

Yup...loved Intensity! Definitely my favorite. Like Odd Thomas and Frakenstein...but still...can't replace The Stand or It by King. :)

I'm not sure if I've read that - honestly a lot of his books kind of run together for me. I'll have to read the plot summary!
ETA: OK I don't think I've read that. I did remember another one I read recently, 77 Shadow Street. It was pretty good, but the novella included at the end, The Moonlit Mind, was better. I really wanted more of THAT story.
