Dean Koontz is kind of like the RC Cola of horror/suspense novelists:

See RC Cola in the store
“Hmmmm, it’s been a while, but I THINK I liked RC the last time I got it”
Purchase and consume RC Cola
“I kind of wish this was a Coke, but it’s not that bad, might as well finish”
Several years pass, go back to step 1

As a side note, I LOVED Dean Koontz books back in the 80’s/90’s. They were fun and quick reads that are in the “high floor, low ceiling” realm of books.

Basically moved on from youth novels with both Dean Koontz and Stephen King. The Odd Thomas series was a fun read at that age.
