Re: No Koontz?

I wouldn't say fantasy, I would more likely call it supernatural than fantasy. Fantasy in respect is like LOTR, Harry Potter. Lightning is more of a Sci Fi thriller when important plot lines get revealed. The one that sounds fantasy-ish to me is By The Light Of The Moon. Just because it sounds unbelievable doesn't mean it's fantasy. Stephen King wrote a book about an old man who can see on different planes of existence (Insomnia) although it seemed to have elements of the fantastical but it was no where near fantasy. It was a supernatural horror/thriller. I think Koontz wrote shorts about fantasy but his mainstream stuff is more horror thriller type stories. Has he really written with 9 pseudonyms? I only heard of Leigh Nichols and that was an interview he did a long while back. Just seems wierd because I have read everything by Koontz except his new stuff. Please don't take this wrong I am not trying to diss you it's just hard to think Koontz writing fantasy.
