Strange Highways

Summary: Best Koontz Book
Review: This has got to be the best Koontz book that I've read. It is filled with all types of horror, and I love the short stories. My favorites were: Strange Highways, Chase (these are the 2 novel length stories), The Black Pumpkin, and Trapped (for those of you who enjoyed Watchers, this would be a great story for you!) There are 12 stories in all, and they are all EXCELLENT! I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves Koontz and/or short horror stories.

Summary: Some really great stuff.
Review: This is a collection of stories that will make you laugh, cry , or be so scare that you lose control of your bodily functions (don't worry it happens to all of us at one time or another). Some of these stories flat out kick. For instance, "Strange Highways" and "Chase" were both hard to put down. However there are also some very poor stories as is the case in most such collections. Over all though, I would say it is most definitely worth reading

Summary: A must for any new dean Koontz readers (or anyone else)
Review: This is the best book to read if you've never read dean koontz. It shows all the aspects of a dean koontz book. BRUNO shows his humorous side... STRANGE HIGHWAYS shows his supernatural side...CHASE shows you his psychological side...WATCHERS and THE NIGHT OF THE STORM shows you his sci-fi side...and KITTENS shows his creepy side, as does every other story in this book. This is a great collection of stories from koontz's wide varitety of interests.

Summary: Wow! My first Dean Koontz book ever... so far the best! hehe
Review: This was my first Dean Koontz book and I loved it! The stories are brilliant, all 14 of them. My favorite was, subsequently also the title of the book, "Strange Highways." This little 'novella' was truly imaginative and suspenseful and readers of horror novels will love it. Hey, even readers like me who usually hate horror stuff will love it because it's more bizarre than scary. I also like "Kittens" which was..well, weird. I recommend this book. Go buy it today!

Summary: WEIRD! COOL!
Review: Usually I'm not into short stories but these were pretty cool. 'Strange Highways' was probably the best in there, but to be honest it's been so long since I borrowed it from my friend and read it that I don't really remember which titles went w/which stories. 'The Black Pumpkin' was definitely Koontz-ish--I don't know, that guy must have a thing for kids being innocent or something (read 'Dark Rivers of the Heart' and you'll get my point) 'Kittens' was downright weird, pardon my Southern vocab. The only one I didn't really like was the one about the robots just 'cause I'm not really into those. The one about the atheistic dude wasn't that good at first 'cause I believe in God but at the end it was pretty cool. Gotta go write some more reviews! DK ROCKs!

Summary: Over-all a very good book or audio
Review: We actually listened to this book on audio. It was very entertaining and kept us wanting to hear more.

Summary: 14 samples of Koontz in one. What more could a fan ask for?
Review: What more could Koontz addicts ask for? Two very good novellas and 12 stories which are completely different from each other. Commendation to the author is a must, but also redundant. There are two stories here which still do a perfect job of poking me uncomfortably in the subconscious. Those would be "Down in the Darkness", a perfectly written gem, and "Kittens", one of the most disturbing short stories I ever read in a long, long time. It still goes on to prove there are some writers out there who manage to convey more terror in 8-10 pages than others who take up a whole Bible's worth and do nothing which remains in the memory of the reader. Koontz has not only achieved this with this collection, but with all the other books of his which I have read. Koontz is the one man who manages to write the gruesome horror of contemporary novels with the elegant, nearly poetic lyricism of past days. Well done, Mr. Koontz!
