Love him, too. Currently watching Good Omens and loving every moment.
You're going to melt for me whether you like it or not because I told you to. cracks dragontail
King is my favorite author, hands down, but I don't understand why so many people seem to look down at Koontz. If we're really being honest, Koontz would be much more well regarded if it weren't for the fact that he's so frequently directly compared to King, and Stephen King is a one-of-a-kind, once in a lifetime literary master. Absent the comparison to King, the bulk of Koontz's work holds up quite well. It's entertaining writing with relatable characters that are easy for become invested in. Hell, some of his ideas were not only terrifyingly imaginative, they were also oddly accurate predictions of the future. Demon Seed is uniquely chilling in that it was almost comically over the top with its seemingly ridiculous technology that has since very much become a reality.
I would also argue that Koontz has had a few film adaptations that ended up better than the King adaptations of their time. Phantoms, Watchers, Servants of Twilight, Whispers, Intensity, and Mr. Murder were all pretty great.
Koontz has a great track record. He simply suffers from living in the shadow of a modern day colossus like King. Absent the comparison, I feel Koontz would be much more favorably viewed.

Hmmm. Cute, but the collar is much more subby than dommy. Love that the doggo would choose leather rabbit ears, though.
At this point, the NH state flag needs to be a solid yellow square with a pile of trash bags at center and the state motto in Comic Sans. Folks don't seem to know the difference between libertarian and anarchist in the worst ways possible.
That's not the sick burn it once was, now that Hasbro owns them both.
I LOVE Daggerfall. I kinda feel like it gets overlooked. Then again, Daggerfall is the game that made me fall in love with CRPGs. I enjoyed others before it, but Daggerfall became an obsession. I went back and replayed Arena after having had a tepid experience with it the first time around and found it a much better experience. It's not perfect by any means, but it firmly established Elder Scrolls at the top of my favorite series.
The ultimate conceit is that infinities are a wonderfully engaging concept, but truly comprehending them as a tangible thing is inherently futile. We want to make these comparisons. They do, in some ways, hold some kind of meaningful as a concept, because we like one thing to be bigger or better than the other. But, at the scale of infinity, these comparisons are arbitrary and largely meaningless in any practical way.
Texas? Receding?
Ahhhhh! Noooo!
Anyway.
