Strange Highways

Summary: The Beginning
Review: These are short stories from his college days and even before of just writing things he thought about. Things that were around him that maybe caused one to question about the possibilities of this or that. So true to life and 'What Ifs', which I drive my friends and family crazy with mine. If a person is a reader of Dean Koontz, then watching many movies has taught you from reading his books how to look for things and be observant more than others. This one of his originals I have when he finally put on market. I told my sons, if they want to hear something scary, I'd read them something!!! They knew what I meant, and being 15 and 18, they're not ready for the reality of his books. Hopefully one day they will be.

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: 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!
