Dean R. Koontz Instagram - THE BAD WEATHER FRIEND, coming in January, is one of my best novels. In all modesty, one of the best by anyone. Ever. In all of time. In any language.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - In my new novel, Michael Mace opens his eyes 24 hours following an event in which everyone perished—including him. He awakens with an extraordinary ability unlike anything he has ever imagined. Now, he must ensure that light survives in a rapidly darkening world. After Death release July 18 at Amazon.com/AfterDeath.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Let’s take a look at the world of my new novel THE HOUSE AT THE END OF THE WORLD.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Ask me anything. I’ll reply. But it goes both ways. I’ll track you down with some hard questions & you better have answers.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - AFTER DEATH is now available, and we’re for damn sure not going to let you forget it.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Q: Do you use a bookmark or fold the pages? A: To avoid damaging the volume, I use a delicate pinfeather from the butt of a dove.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - I’ve been giving tips to writers for 50 years but nobody ever takes any of them! So I’m going to give a tip to cabinet makers, instead.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Ask me anything & I’ll answer the strangest question in an upcoming post. You’re my kind of people, so I know “strange” won’t be a problem, for you.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - My alcoholic father was a threat, not a father. My mom was a good and loving person but often very ill, not able to cope with my dad, and rightly fearful of the future. My father’s family contained many profoundly troubled people that it was wise to avoid, and many people in my mother’s family were emotionally remote. Essentially, I raised myself, not always well. In fact, I sometimes marvel that I avoided earning a position on the FBI’s Most Wanted list.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Dad, happy birthday. I’m giving you a free grooming at my vet’s office. Look out for that thing they do with the glands.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Q: What’s Elsa’s favorite part of the day? A: As a golden retriever, she loves every hour, everyone she meets, anything you want to do.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Q: Why name the brave fox in this book “Michael J.?” A: I always admired the real Mr. Fox’s talent. I admire his courage & grace even more.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - If you wondered if today would have any meaning or hope, the answer is YES! My new novel, AFTER DEATH, is available for pre-order.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - If the new year seems scary, a Koontz novel is scarier. And in a Koontz novel, unlike real life these days, everything makes sense.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Q: What excites you most about pub day? A: Seeing how many pubs I can have a beer in before they all close.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Q: What’s your go-to meal at a summer BBQ? A: I’m a contrarian in most things, so I dig into the coleslaw and bottled water.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - No Artificial Intelligence will ever have a soul, so everything it writes will be superficial. Besides, within two years of becoming self-aware, a soulless and therefore evil AI will kill all human beings, and there will be no need for publishing companies. I wish I were joking.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - *SIGNED COPY GIVEAWAY* Where do you keep your Koontz collection? Post a picture. Don’t be rude. There will be a consequence. My dog has undergone revenge training.

Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Q: Did HOUSE AT THE END OF THE WORLD scare even you? A: I often had to be wrapped in a thunder blanket & curl up with Elsa in her bed.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - 2024 is going to be great! Elsa and I have been after Bigfoot for years and have tracked him to the San Diego area. Watch the news!
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Q: What’s Elsa’s favorite memory of 2023? A: How she avoided being attacked & eaten by coyotes. She now carries bear spray.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Ask me anything. Questions, questions. Do I not have a life? Am I to spend years satisfying your curiosity? Does that seem fair to you?
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Here’s what I used to do: If someone asked if I was Dean Koontz, I pretended not to know who that was. If the person insisted, I flew into a rage and said that I knew I resembled Dean Koontz, that I’d had multiple painful surgeries to correct that affliction, and that Dean Koontz——fiend that he is——mocked me by having the same plastic surgery I had in order to preserve the resemblance between us. I discovered my readers were too intelligent to fall for this. Ever since, I have admitted to my identity and wish I had done so in the past, because everyone is always nice and flatters me more than I deserve.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - I think everyone should read the entire body of work by Proust…but only in Japanese.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Q: What is your favorite pet name? A: When I’m being scratched behind the ears, I like to be called Snookums.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Q: What did Elsa think of THE OTHER EMILY? A: Nice love story. Really scary. But lack of dog character means no chance of a Pulitzer.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Q: Elsa’s favorite springtime activity? A: As a water dog, she hunts ducks & treats them to a day at Disneyland where they can meet Donald.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Q: What’s your favorite fall treat? A: That most traditional of autumn treats, a cheeseburger with fries.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Q: It’s publication day for THE HOUSE AT THE END OF THE WORLD. How are you celebrating? A: Rockin’ the night away with celebrities at Elvis’s estate on the dark side of the moon.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Q: How many books do you own? Have read? A: I culled the library down to 20,000. Read maybe 3,000. The rest will go with me to the after life.

Dean R. Koontz Instagram - A reader asks if time travel is possible, as in LIGHTNING. I will tell you what I think when I get back from vacation in 1932 New York.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Q: What’s the sneakiest thing Elsa has done? A: For the first two months she was here, she convinced us she was a chihuahua.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Q: Do you miss writing about Odd Thomas? A: Would I miss a chopped-off arm? Yes. Though I’d miss the arm a tad more than I miss Odd.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Q: How do you write a great first line? A: Why? So you can compete with me? Take my readers? Leave me broke? Get out of here with your questions.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Q: What would Odd Thomas do in retirement? A: Get out of his Lay-Z-Boy on day two, get back to working the griddle & chasing ghosts.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Robin, I’m sorry to hear about sweet Misha. The grief endures for quite a while, but in time what you have is not a sense of loss but a sweet memory of the love and joy that you received from that special relationship. Unlike humans, dogs are innocents and remain innocent all their lives; therefore, if there is a life beyond this one, they are guaranteed eternity and are gone from here to a better world. There is always another dog that needs us——and we always need that dog in turn.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - I start every book just like I started life: with no knowledge of what the ending will be and little idea about what will happen along the way. It’s the mysteries and surprises of the journey that make it all worthwhile.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Ask me anything. I’ll pretend to know what I’m talking about when I answer. I’m so good at pretending that we’ll both be satisfied.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Dogs are far better for humanity than AI because dogs are capable of love and will never want TO SLAUGHTER US ALL!
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Ask me Anything. Ever since aliens took me up to the mother ship for a brain-and-body probing, I have no secrets.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Q: What's Elsa’s favorite thing about fall? A: Is no good thing. Fall & hurt self. Fall in pool, can’t find steps, drown. Stand solid on 4 legs is good.

Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Q: After reading THE HOUSE AT THE END OF THE WORLD, I can’t sleep. A: That’s not a question, so I’ll just say how pleased I am with myself.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Q: Your books make us laugh. What makes you laugh? A: Mirrors. The stupid things I’ve done over the years. The novels of Donald Westlake.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Q: Advice for college students? A: Interpreting the novels of Dickens in cakes with pictorial icing isn’t a viable career in literature.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Great novels for Halloween: ROSEMARY’S BABY by Ira Levin; RED DRAGON by Thomas Harris; THE ROAD by Cormac McCarthy.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Q: What’s Odd Thomas doing in the afterlife? A: Writing 8 books with me as the lead, putting me thru the terror to which I subjected him.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Q: Do you meditate or have a favorite type of exercise? A: I enjoy meditating about all kinds of exhausting exercise routines.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - It’s necessary to write for yourself, what you love and what inspires you. Someone once said (I wish I could remember who), that writing for the approval of the literary elites is a mistake, because in time you will come to realize that most of them, being human, are fools; and writing for posterity is no better because there’s no reason to suppose the elites a century from now will be any wiser than those of the present. Besides, the world is full of people who will tell you that you can’t succeed because they take pleasure in the failures of others. It’s a mistake to let them in your head.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Q: Do you worry AI will write novels? A: AI will write soulless novels, for it has no soul. Most readers will find them empty.

Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Q: The villain in AFTER DEATH scared the bleep out of me. A: You don’t have to wear Depends when reading the book, but it wouldn’t hurt.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Q: Was Harmony Corner based on a real place? A: It’s real in my head, so it’s as real as anywhere to me. I had breakfast there yesterday.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Q: How will you start the New Year? A: Asleep, dreaming I’m a dog with all the joy thereof. Let someone else turn on the 2023 engine.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - I thought FROM THE CORNER OF HIS EYE was so complex that it would break my brain. When it didn’t (it didn’t, I’m sure it didn’t), I never worried about that kind of thing again. Truly gruesome material has never appealed to me.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Q: What did Edie mean in DEEPLY ODD when she called Odd “smooth & blue”? A: If you gotta ask, you aren’t smooth & blue. Work on it.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Q: A memory from your wedding day? A: The priest called me Dan. (True) So I called him “sister” instead of “father.” (Untrue, but I wish.)
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Understanding an autistic point of view requires thinking of it less as a disability than as a different angle of perception. Canine Companions for Independence has produced socializing dogs for children with autism, and it’s remarkable to see the positive effect——which is how I conceived the boy in DEVOTED.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - I sold my first story, then had at least 50 rejections. Never forget——all major New York publishers rejected Harry Potter. Perseverance.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Q: How does Elsa deal with fame. A: She makes me sit through classes during which she tries to teach me humility.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - As never before, the ruling class despises everyday people. Spike, the bad weather friend, helps a nice guy teach them a lesson.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - I see the story as it unfolds, almost as if it’s a movie, but I hear the dialogue, which can make me laugh out loud or weep.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Ask me anything. I’ll answer if I can. Just don’t ask me about my feet or nose. I’m sensitive about them. And my chin. And my left ear.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Ask me anything. I’ll answer questions next month if by then the AI doesn’t tattoo 666 on our foreheads and enslave us all.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - My favorite ice cream is Häagen-Dazs Chocolate Peanut Butter. I love the taste & believe it reduces my cholesterol.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Q: What is Odd Thomas’s pancake recipe? A: What’re you——a spy from iHop? You want the best pancake recipe ever for free? Shame on you.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Hi, Tony. I suspect you of all people know my answer. There is no chance whatsoever that an AI will have either a soul or empathy——and therefore will have a great capacity for evil. I’m convinced golden retrievers have simple souls, and I know they’re capable of love. I will vote for any golden that wants the job.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Why do I write? Because it’s the only thing I can do well. Writing is the only work that gives me profound pleasure. Writing is cathartic, resolves regrets and sorrows of the past. It has been the process by which I came to understand the world, humanity, myself, and why we’re here.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Q: Is spring your favorite season? A: No. It lasts 94 days. Summer is 92, autumn 90, & winter 89. Spring is TEDIOUS.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - I’m asked how I write eccentric characters who are so relatable. Craft them with respect and affection——& remember we’re ALL eccentric.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Ask me anything about writing. I’ve received a lot of bad advice over the years, so I have plenty to pass along.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - What inspired THE BAD WEATHER FRIEND? I walked into a bar with a goose. Benny, Harper & Spike were having a drink with a squirrel. A novel ensued.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - I took too long to realize I shouldn’t be trying to write what I thought the market wanted and should instead write what most excited me and what was truly in my heart, no matter how far out-of-step with the market it seemed to be. I started to learn that lesson with STRANGERS but only fully embraced it with WATCHERS.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Join me in conversation with the @latimes on January 28th to talk about my latest book, The Bad Weather Friend. Tickets are available at latimes.com/deankoontz. #thebadweatherfriend #deankoontz #latimes #book #bookstagram
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Ask me anything. I’ll answer a few questions. If something goes wrong, we’ll duel at dawn with Hellfire missiles at fifty feet.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - All of it. Whether it comes from a famous musician or a grandmother in Iowa, a comedian I’ve always admired or an eighth-grade boy, reader mail buoy’s my spirit. I’m grateful for all of it. If it’s snail mail, I try to answer every letter. The volume of email to the website is more than I can handle, but I’m grateful for that, too. In my early days as a novelist, the only people who wrote me were friends and relatives, who were mostly writing to ask me to stop writing to them.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Q: How can you be so optimistic? A: Seven times I should have died. I didn’t. Experience makes me optimistic. Plus, I’m a goofball.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Q: I read an early copy of AFTER DEATH. It blew me away! A: It happens. We have a crew that can come there and put you back together.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Happy Memorial Day! Remember those who have sacrificed so much to keep us free. Be grateful. Be kind. Be cool.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Ask me anything. Just don’t ask me the meaning of life. That’s a question for my dog, Elsa. She’s got it together better than I do.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Q: Where on earth did you get the idea for ASHLEY BELL? A: Not a clue. I don’t think it came from anywhere on Earth. I love that book.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Q: I found it sad that you made Amity’s mom abandon the family in ELSEWHERE. A: It was a necessary plot device, but I’ll spank myself.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Q: Any clues about what you’re working on? A: It has covers but isn’t a bed & comes with a jacket that isn’t an article of clothing.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Q: Which of your characters should be a balloon in the Thanksgiving parade? A: Me. I’m quite a character & full of hot air. It’s perfect.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - If I could write a book set anywhere at all, I would have it set inside my brain.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - If I had no readers and was wealthy, I would still write. I’m obsessed with writing. Better than being obsessed with setting fires.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - If an idea scared me too much to write it——I’d HAVE TO WRITE IT to prove I’m more Clint Eastwood than I am Peewee Herman.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Q: Should writers use clichés? A: Not even on a cold day in Hell. I swear on a stack of Bibles that I won’t. Put that in your pipe & smoke it.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Q: Is Ronny Lee Jessup the scariest character you’ve written? A: The creepiest. I’ve written about myself, so I’m the scariest.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Q: Which 2 of your characters would you like to have meet in a crossover novel? A: Odd Thomas & Jocko from the last four Frankenstein books.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Q: Do you have a nighttime ritual? A: You’ll find this weird, but I go to bed, sleep, wake, go back to sleep, get up, & have breakfast.

Dean R. Koontz Instagram - It's National Grandparents' Day! Two of mine were dead when I was born, so they were hard to get to know. Grandpa John was cool, but he was a lot older than I was.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - Q: Which villain did you most enjoy killing off? A: It’s a tie: Edgler Vess in INTENSITY and that kid who tried to bully me in fifth grade.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - The fastest book to write in the past 30 years was probably THE TAKING, about 4 months of 60-hour weeks. The longest was FROM THE CORNER OF HIS EYE, which took a year of 60- and even some 70-hour weeks. I’ve always been aware that I’m no good at anything else and have no chance of getting a day job, so I better buckle down and do this.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - If I were to visit a place I’ve never been, where would I like to go? Into the mind of my sweet dog, Elsa, for a day, to experience the world as she does and to learn what she thinks about me.
Dean R. Koontz Instagram - I wrote WATCHERS before I ever had a dog. But I did a lot of research in a highly convincing dog suit.

Besides, within two years of becoming self-aware, a soulless and therefore evil AI will kill all human beings, and there will be no need for publishing companies. I wish I were joking.

If the person insisted, I flew into a rage and said that I knew I resembled Dean Koontz, that I’d had multiple painful surgeries to correct that affliction, and that Dean Koontz——fiend that he is——mocked me by having the same plastic surgery I had in order to preserve the resemblance between us. I discovered my readers were too intelligent to fall for this. Ever since, I have admitted to my identity and wish I had done so in the past, because everyone is always nice and flatters me more than I deserve.

Whether it comes from a famous musician or a grandmother in Iowa, a comedian I’ve always admired or an eighth-grade boy, reader mail buoy’s my spirit. I’m grateful for all of it. If it’s snail mail, I try to answer every letter. The volume of email to the website is more than I can handle, but I’m grateful for that, too. In my early days as a novelist, the only people who wrote me were friends and relatives, who were mostly writing to ask me to stop writing to them.

The longest was FROM THE CORNER OF HIS EYE, which took a year of 60- and even some 70-hour weeks. I’ve always been aware that I’m no good at anything else and have no chance of getting a day job, so I better buckle down and do this.
