I loved Konntz's "Lightning" also, yet, his other works seem to be very repetitious; I cannot count how many times I have come across the phrases "cul de sac" and "bougainvillea vines" in his works....

Alright, My King top alternative reads:Robert R. McCammon and Dan Simmons have been suggested, often-justifiably so- therefore I must move on to my other personal favorites. Douglas Preston and...
Mr. King, I guess one day before your birthday is close enough. I am wishing you a very Happy and Healthy Birthday. May you have many more to come. You are one of the few people ,outside my family...
I could not agree more. Joe Hill has had a meteoric rise; "Heart Shaped Box", "Horns" , The graphic novellas "Locke and Key", "Kodiak, "The Cape", and of course; the great short stories from "20th...
Many of McCammon's paperbacks ,including "Usher's Passing" are available at USED bookstore racks like NYC's The Strand. I bought mine when in the 1990's Horror and Detective Bookstores were all over...
I can tell by reading the Dean Koontz novels ,which I read- back in the late 80's -early nineties, like "Lightning", "Midnight", and "Phantoms,"that he could weave a good tale . Then I noticed after...
Scarecrow Joe, there is nothing like a "nerd" that thinks on his feet in a catastrophe. E. Fremantle
O.K. I used to read Koontz- but , Well there are a plethora of descriptions of Cul de Sacs, and flowery- pun intended descriptions-of vines and trellises. I did finish many earlier in the 80's and...

1022010219102211022310220102191022110223"Machete" it has a great cast. There is a weird beyond "Tarantino" seventies-feel to it that I liked. Quality B+ grade action film. Guiltlessly enjoyable...

I would like to see CELL made into a film, also Duma Key, both are intensely visual and Ridley Scott would be great for CELL -as a director. I'd love to see Alan Parker take a stab -no pun intended...

Well I am ranked as a Dead Eye and found one magical item,and Callahan's character sphere. It is pretty chilling and hard to find evidence in such disarray and darkness. That is the point though. It...
McCammon ...he has several books that I have read ,which I highly recommend, -Here is a short list- "Mine","Gone South","A Boy's Life", naturally "Swan Song"-his Stand,"Wolf's hour", "The U-Boat",...
Sleepwalkers was great, Alice Kriege is just allring enough ,and severely manipulative seeming to make it work. Also it was cool that around the time of beauty and the beast,
they employed the actor...
