My friend is obsessed with Stephen King and dean koontz so she lend me some of their books. I just love them. I love that genre. I had never read any of their books before my friend introduced me to their work and i just can't say enough how good they are.

I love to read them. They are great authors! I have read a total of 15 of their books so far. My parents have almost all of their books.
So I was wondering if anyone else loves them like I do?

I have always loved them too! I happen to like Koontz a bit more, but it is close. They are part of the reason I have been working on a few books myself. I won't say for how long here now. Your love for the genre makes me wonder what you would think of a taste of my book. I have the first chapter of the first book in a pentology, up on my site. The second book is already written but I have decided it needed to come after this first novel. I would like very much if you visited my site and read the partial first chapter and gave me your opinion on it. By the way I also am from Nebraska. The story setting is in a fictional area here in our home state. The characters and the locations are all based off collections of traits people I have known and met, and places that are real. No one person or place is an actual copy of a place or person but od several. The main characters are as well as the minor ones are all flawed in thier own ways that reflect may of the real people I have had the privaledge to now. Yes they have eccentricities that have been magnified a bit, but not beyond reality. This is a dark storyline with paranormal as well as human evils. Who knows you may hate it or love it. Whatever your opinion it will be valuable to me. If you wish to you can also contact me from the site with any questions.

from this huge list http://www.knowledge...post__p__361477 i have read only 5 of them and only with these five, i can say Stephan King is a great author.
first book i read was Christine Novel form King, very nice written horror book about a car named Christine which is supernatural car with some unbelievable abilities like in the first of the book when the main character is buying the car, it repairs itself. This car kills peoples and whom they are related to the main character and so polices think that the main character is responsible for those murders but two friends of the main character try to stop the supernatural thing, anyway end of story is somehow not completely understandable as part of it depends on yourself to how you want to end it. I have seen some movies later with same story but this story only fits for reading not for making a movie, so i like the book very much but never like those type movies at all which trying to show a murderer car.
another one is "Graveyard Shift" which was a short story i read it translation in a local magazine but i remember it completely because it was very amusing. it was about a person working in a textile mill which was sent by some other workers to clean basement of that place, when they get to the basement they face many strange animals (most rats as i remember with a queen rat) that are trying to eat them. actually i think some of horror movies we see these days are inspired fro King's novels, he was always thinking of something weird to happen to normal people while they are doing they regular work. i still have that magazine in my archive because i really liked it.
i like Dean Koontz too but i only have read one book from him , it was Strangers with story about some people gathered together in a desert from various places for unknown reason, they will try to find out why they are here and what should they do. the story will probably reminds you those horror movies we see releasing every year with the same story about some people gathered for some reason and they have to find it. i think reading a horror book is better than seeing one because it is more detailed and you will understand it completely not like these unfinished movies that we can see. the book is really great and there is no doubt in that but i have not found any other book from him yet, i mean if you go to a normal bookshop and say the name of the King, they will give you at least 20 title but if you say Koontz name you can not find more than 1 or 2 (which i can find only 1
), so i have to buy its pdf which is not as good as a paper book.
