The Collectible Dean Koontz

[jonahwriter]

Didn't see a thread here on Koontz. I've picked up a lot of cool inscribed Koontz books and have just started in on some of the S/L Koontz. I have loads of signed Koontz now - as he's pretty easy to get at low prices on ebay and abebooks, but the ones I like the most are these ones - signed Dark Harvest/Phil Hales books and a 1st of "Lightning" with a lightning bolt. I love collecting Koontz books with funny or witty or even silly inscriptions as well. :) I also picked up recently a 1st of "Watchers" with a signed illustrated bookplate. A few pics below.

I too am an avid Dean Koontz collector collecting S/L, proofs, ARCs, pseudonyms, and other ephemera. I'll try and slowly update this part of the forum. Below are a few of my S/L and other Koontz collectibles:

I believe the Lightning Limited edition is the first Koontz S/L edition which was issued by Ultramarine Publishing Company, Inc., in 1988 in two states: one limited to 200 numbered copies bound in 1/4 leather, signed by Dean R. Koontz and another, 26 copies lettered A-Z, bound in full leather and signed by Dean R. Koontz. Note: Author's original title was LIGHTNING ROAD. I just have the S/L:

Another early S/L of Koontz's books was The Bad Place which was issued in limited edition of 250 numbered copies, in slipcase, without dust wrapper, signed by Dean R. Koontz and published by Putnam in 1990. The Dark Harvest S/L editions were published after Lightning and prior to The Bad Place.

Very nice - I do not have such an extensive collection of Koontz - but i did just get the last 3 Charnel House Odd books from Camelot - I had been paying those off for the past several months

[jcmanske]

Published by Dark Harvest between 1988 and 1990, these are the five "Leigh Nichols" titles in the limited edition state. The limited and lettered editions are both signed by Dean Koontz and the illustrator, Phil Parks. The lettered editions contain a full page color drawing by the illustrator, Phil Parks. The books are: The Servants of Twilight (1988-550/52); The House of Thunder (1988-550/52); The Eyes of Darkness (1989-400/52); The Key to Midnight (1990-550/52); and Shadowfires (1990-600/52). Additionally , there exist 20 signed copies of each of the Dark Harvest novels in proof format which are extremely hard to find and expensive.

I have signed limiteds of Eyes of Darkness and Key to Midnight, but still need to get the others.

Excellent! I was just on the Charnel House website and saw that Joe was taking orders for Saint Odd which will be numbered to only 125 copies @ $400.00. The lettered edition sounds amazing with

Another hard to find Koontz is the signed limited of Blood Test by Jonathan Kellerman published by Dark Harvest in 1993 and limited to 400 slip cased copies. Koontz wrote the introduction for the book and signed the limitation page with Kellerman.

that is a crazy sounding lettered - "the art is not shooting Dean's signature out of the book" - you pay that much and his name is shot out. I cannot wait to see what these look like. I ordered my copy from Camelot - so I will actually have 3 matching numbers out of the 8 books

[RC65]

I don't read him anymore, but still have a great deal of fondness for his LIGHTNING and those titles that came before. I have his Dark Harvest HCs and a few other early and pseudonymous titles.

[Booknutt]

He's hit or miss with me lately. I like his Odd books but that's about it. I do have a hand full of signed items including the Christopher Snow books and a few limited edition ARCs.

In addition to The Bad Place published in 1990, Putnam offered a series of four Dean Koontz signed limited editions from 1991 to 1993: Cold Fire (1991-750); Hideaway (1992-800); Dragon Tears (1993-700); and Mr. Murder (1993-700). The dust jacket and slipcase were illustrated by Don Brautigan and the interior illustrations by Phil Parks. Very nice looking signed limited editions and like most of Koontz's books still very reasonably priced.

From 1995 to 1999, Cemetery Dance published four signed, limited edition Dean Koontz books in both numbered and lettered editions: Strange Highways (1995-750); Fear Nothing (1998-698); Seize the Night (1998-698); and False Memory (1999-698). The lettered edition are limited to 52 copies each and lettered A to ZZ. Each of the editions are signed by the author, Dean Koontz, and the illustrator, Phil Parks. I don't have Strange Highways, but do have the other three in numbered form.

Joe Stefko of Charnel House (charnelhouse.com) started producing stunning versions of Koontz signed limited editions beginning with Beastchild in 1992 which was limited to 750 numbered and 26 lettered editions signed by Koontz and the illustrator, Pamela Lee. I have the numbered edition.

195 pages 6X9 inches
First hardcover Edition
The text has been typeset from the authors restored original manuscript with a new authors preface.
The illustrations are printed on Lustro Gloss and the limitation sheet has been printed letterpress on Fabriano Ingres.

When Dean checked the proofs for this book he wanted to know why Charnel House felt the need to rewrite his twenty year old novel. It turned out that the publisher of the paperback original did and it was this source that was used as manuscript that the proofs were made from. Eventually Dean's paper trail led to his original manuscript and Beastchild was for the first time whole and published as it was written.

An interesting story--I would never have expected a publisher to change a novel without the author's permission or knowledge.

One of the most sought after of the Koontz S/L editions published by Charnel House is The Book of Counted Sorrows which also happens to be the largest printing of the Charnel House Koontz editions at 1250 numbered and 26 lettered. The Book of Counted Sorrows contains the collection of epigrams frequently contained in the beginning of Koontz books. The numbered edition was printed with custom fonts on Mohawk Superfine & Frankfurt White, bound in linen with a pictorial front board and slip cased. The numbered edition originally sold for $100.00 and the lettered for $2,000.00 each.

Leigh Nichols was a pseudonym used by Dean Koontz for five US titles and 6 UK titles. All of the initial US releases were in paperback only, and one BCE, Shadowfires, which was also Koontz's last US release using a pen name. The first publication of The Key to Midnight was in 1979 by Pocket as a US paperback. Interestingly, the proof is not paperback sized, but rather sized normally for a standard proof.

The Door to December proof depicted below is the proof for the 1988 Inner Circle UK hardback published in 01/1988. The Door to December US release was in 1985 under the pen name, Richard Paige (Koontz's only use of this pseudonym). The Door to December most likely would have been released as a Nichols book in the US, as well, had it not been for Koontz being in the process of switching paperback publishers.

Nice items !

[jcmanske]

Below are photos of a few harder to find Dean Koontz uncorrected proofs which I have. The Putnam uncorrected proofs prior to 1993 are very challenging to find. Also depicted is a tough to find "The Best of Cemetery Dance" proof with a short story, "Chattery Teeth" by King and "A Conservation with Dean Koontz"

The Pig Society (Aware Press 1970) and The Underground Lifestyles Handbook (Aware Press 1970) are two non-fiction titles allegedly written by Dean and his wife, Gerda. According to Stu Weaver's Dean Koontz page, "Koontz disputes authorship, claiming the publisher took liberties with the manuscript. One has only to read the first few pages to realize that a good portion of the book is, in fact, not written by Koontz. It is reported that Dean refuses to autograph the book for this reason." Each of these books are among the very most difficult of Koontz titles to locate. Finding one in good condition is a tough task.

From www.deankoontz.com:

UNAUTHORIZED MUTILATION OF DEAN’S WORKS.
In 1969, Dean agreed to have a small publisher publish two of his non-fiction works (one entitled THE SICK SOCIETY and the other entitled GOING UNDERGROUND) and two of his fiction works (one entitled HUNG and the other entitled TIGER 650). All four books were presented to the publisher as finished manuscripts and Dean fully expected for them to be published in the form submitted to the publisher. Unfortunately, all four books were put into production before Dean learned that the publisher had arranged, without Dean’s knowledge or consent, for them to be so completely rewritten that none of them, as published, bore much resemblance to the original manuscripts as submitted by Dean. Although he wasn’t able to stop publication, he did get the publisher to contractually agree to publish all four books under a pseudonym. The publisher further agreed to indemnify Dean against claims arising from the material added by the publisher: “Author and Publisher acknowledge that…the Work will be published with material changes from the original manuscripts of same, that the Publisher assumes all liability for the content of those new chapters and passages.” However, only one of the four books was published under a pen name- HUNG was published under the pen name Leonard Chris. THE SICK SOCIETY manuscript was published under the title PIG SOCIETY, the GOING UNDERGROUND manuscript was published under the title THE UNDERGROUND LIFESTYLES HANDBOOK, and the TIGER 650 manuscript was published under the title BOUNCE GIRL- all with Dean and Gerda Koontz as the credited authors, and therefore in breach of Dean’s contract with the publisher. Copyright Office files on all four of these books now reflects affidavits from Gerda and Dean stating that (1) Gerda did not participate in writing any portion of these books and (2) Dean disavows any claim of authorship or responsibility for the content of these four books due to the substantial nature of the unauthorized changes to his original manuscripts.

Interestingly, in 1971, in an article entitled "Dean's Drive or Some Days in the Life of another Writer," published in Energumen 8(June 1971), Dean allegedly had this to say about The Pig Society:

Below are my copies of the books:

Many of Dean Koontz's early short stories were published in The Magazine of Science Fiction and Fantasy, Venture, Fantastic Stories and other genre related magazines. Here are examples of a few I have:

From www.deankoontz.com:

PEN NAMES.
Dean used the following pen names early in his career. The number in parenthesis is the number of titles written under each name: David Axton (1) Brian Coffey (5), Deanna Dwyer (5), K.R. Dwyer (3), John Hill (1), Leigh Nichols (5), Anthony North (1), Richard Paige (1), and Aaron Wolfe (1). Two of the Brian Coffey books have been reissued under Dean’s name–THE FACE OF FEAR (Berkley Books) and THE VOICE OF THE NIGHT (Berkley Books), one of the K.R. Dwyer titles–SHATTERED (Berkley Books), the lone Richard Paige book–THE DOOR TO DECEMBER (NAL/Signet) and all five Leigh Nichols titles (Berkley Books). CHASE, by K.R. Dwyer, was extensively rewritten by Dean and published as a full-length novel in the collection STRANGE HIGHWAYS, published by Warner Books (now Grand Central Publishing).

Below are my copies of the three K.R. Dwyer books written by Dean. His first hardback published under any name was Chase which shows a 1972 copyright; however, the back inside flap states that it was printed in 1/73. Interestingly, and I'm sure an intended coincidence, KRD are Dean Koontz's initials (DRK), but backwards. My copy of Shattered is inscribed and I love the note. Also depicted is the back cover of Chase.

David Axton is the pen name of only one title, Prison of Ice, written by Dean Koontz and published by Lippincott in 1976. According to an article written by Jame T. Seels in "Firsts" (Oct. 1993), the ultimate Koontz collectible is one of five or six bound typescripts titled, "The Edgeway Crisis" by Dave Haggard. The manuscript was submitted to Bernard Geis Associates, rejected, then retitled Prison of Ice and submitted to Lipincott as the the work of David Axton. Koontz has one copy and the whereabouts of others are currently unknown.

Koontz chose the pseudonym David Axton because "I've always liked the country singer and songwriter Hoyt Axton, which explains David's last name. The first name was chosen because it has the same number of letters as the last, which looks good on a book and 'stacks' easily if the publisher decides to use the name on two lines."

Here is my copy of the Axton book:

[RC65]

One of my favorite books of Koontz' is VOICE OF THE NIGHT, released under his Brian Coffey pseudonym.

THE DOOR TO DECEMBER, as by Richard Paige, is also fairly good.

Do you have these two in signed 1st HC form?

[WeDealInLead]

This is all very cool. Keep them coming.

Thanks! Appreciate the encouragement. Good to know a few are interested.

I've read about 30-40 of his books and strangely enough, I like the earlier cornball sf more than the tinfoil thrillers he wrote later.

I heard he still responds to letters. Have you considered getting in touch?

I'll second what RC65 said, Voice of the Night is a great book.

[RC65]

If push came to shove, I think LIGHTNING and VOICE OF THE NIGHT would be my two favorite Koontz works. I may have enjoyed a few of his books as much, but none are as memorable.

Brian Coffey is the pseudonym of Dean Koontz on five titles: Blood Risk (1973), Surrounded(1974), The Wall of Masks(1975), The Face of Fear(1977) and The Voice of the Night(1980). Blood Risk, Surrounded and The Wall of Masks are all part of the Mike Tucker trilogy, which is an acknowledged tribute to the Parker novels written by Richard Stark aka Donald E. Westlake. The character, Mike Tucker, is a successful art dealer, heir to a large fortune, and is a professional thief. Tucker only steals from large institutions such as banks, insurance companies and department stores, whose losses are fully covered by insurance.

As to why the name Brian Coffey, Koontz states:

One of my favorite books of Koontz' is VOICE OF THE NIGHT, released under his Brian Coffey pseudonym.

THE DOOR TO DECEMBER, as by Richard Paige, is also fairly good.

Do you have these two in signed 1st HC form?

Unfortunately, I don't have even an unsigned copy of Voice of the Night--it's a tough one to find at a reasonable price. I think the first copy of The Door to December by Richard Paige was in paperback by Signet in 1985, but was later released by Inner Circle in the UK in 1988 as a hardback under the Leigh Nichols name and again in 1991 by Headline as a UK reissue. Appreciate the note. Nice to find other Koontz collectors and readers.

Agreed, Voice of the Night is a great book. I've always noted that each of his recent books has a P.O. Box address in Newport Beach, California. Now that you've planted the seed, I'll have to act. Thanks for the thought!

FYI, Barnes and Noble has a pre-order available for a signed copy of Saint Odd, due to release January 15, 2015, HERE (http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/saint-odd-dean-koontz/1119686046?ean=9780804179911).

[Jimimck]

Loving everyone's Koontz collections. I have most of his novels in paperback and later printing hardbacks. I wouldn't say its a collection as such, just kept them all when I purchased them to read. I do like the idea of picking up a special edition of his however, as he is certainly an author who deserves some credit.

I do have a first edition Watchers as that is my favourite book of his. Would love a signed copy of that one day.

Excellent, I ordered one too!

If you missed it or are interested, Books-A-Million still has the signed copy of his most recently-released book, The City, available HERE (http://www.booksamillion.com/p/City-Autographed-Copy/Dean-R-Koontz/9780804179812?id=6199491041090). I actually found it in a local BAM store and got it.

[zelig]

I posted a signed copy of Saint Odd (US edition) in my collection thread and offered to pick one up for a member here. Since I'm going anyway, if anyone else wants a signed copy let me know as I'd be happy to help out. It's basically from a local bookstore where Koontz signs new releases (in private). They'll be available next week. They sell them for $28 plus tax. (and shipping). That's what the bookstore charges so I'm not looking to make any money on this, just help out. If you're interested send me a PM.

[zelig]

By the way, I just confirmed this. If you want the book personalized, I can make it happen but I need to know in the next half an hour. PM me with your name for personalization.

Again, very nice of you to do this. It speaks volumes about the quality of folks who frequent the forum. I'm very excited to receive my personalized copy (next best thing to being there). Thank you!

[zelig]

You're welcome! I should be able to pick them up next week. I'll keep those who ordered posted on progress. I wish it was this easy to get King books signed!!

I picked up Saint Odd signed edition from Target for about $18 after all the discounts. Pretty good deal. I love how Target has signed copies of some authors.

I'm curious and eager to hear folks thought on why the Koontz collectible market is currently so soft. A review of EBay shows that many signed limited editions are selling well below issue price. A review of sold Koontz items reflects most signed limiteds selling in the 100 to 200 dollar with range with quite a few sales below 100.00. Many older titles issued under pseudonyms sell for less than 100.00 even if they are signed. Also, Charnel House has reduced the quantity of signed limiteds per edition from 500 to 300 to 150. I look at it as a buying opportunity, but am surprised at the apparent lack of interest. He still tops the bestseller lists and the Odd series is extremely popular, but little demand for collectible books although Charnel House does sell out their editions. Thoughts? Am I misreading the market? Appreciate your input!

[cit74]

I can't speak much for it as I only have the charnel house odd books. I bought the first 4 at once from a seller for about $200 each which I felt was a really good price. But then I had to pay issue or slightly above for the next 3 - and the last I got from camelot at issue - since I wanted to complete the series. Seems like the odd books have held their value or are slightly more - compared with his other books. Save for a few like the book of counted sorrows - I forgot I have that one as well.

I think the Charnel House books are great quality and the last few numbered at 125 are tough finds and getting them at issue price is a great deal. I think the Odd series Charnel books will ultimately hold their value. Getting the first four for around 200 is less than issue price and a great deal. Congratulations! I just don't understand why they are so reasonable. Supply is limited so I have to assume demand is low.

Book 4 is still available from the publisher at its $300 issue price. I suppose that's why Charnel House dropped the quantity so drastically starting with Book 5 (from 326 down to only 125) and now that's why the newer volumes sell out quickly, despite the higher issue cost.

Personally I have the first four limited editions of the Odd books. As the issue price increased thereafter, and I wasn't clear when the series would end, if ever (Odd Interlude limited edition anyone?), I spent my book money elsewhere.

I'd like to pick up the last three four limited editions at some point, but just never have quite got to feeling like dropping the additional $1500 (assuming issue price) to complete the set.

[jcmanske]

I'm pleased to have finally received the last Odd Thomas S/L I needed to complete the set to date (Saint Odd has not been completed by Charnel House yet). Since the last few books are limited to 125, there can only be that many complete sets. Unfortunately, mine is not matched. I love the work Joe Stefko does at Charnel House and he is a great guy too. I wish Charnel House would do another Stephen King title. Regulators is the best! Here is the complete set to date as it resides on my shelf:

I'd like some opinions regarding the current value of the Koontz books published by Cemetery Dance from 1998 to 2000. Specifically what is the value of the lettered editions? I have copy "AA" of 52 lettered copies of False Memory, Fear Nothing and Seize The Night. I am entertaining an offer but don't know if it is fair or not.

Also would like opinions on the value of the lettered edition of Lightning. I have copy "S" of 26 lettered copies published by Ultramarine.

Thanks in advance for any help.

As you probably read above and have seen on eBay, the Dean Koontz market is currently soft. On the positive side, those are amazing items that I and any other Koontz collector would love to have. As for value, individual copies of the CD lettered have been listed on eBay for 449 to 499.00 and not selling--a symptom of the soft demand. However, I think that is a very fair price and if I owned them wouldn't sell them for that price unless I was hungry due to their scarcity. In my humble opinion, I'd value the CD lettereds at 450 to 650 and Lightning in the same range if they were being sold individually. I also am of the school that a premium should be paid for the matching set. By the way, I've been watching eBay on the Koontz items for years and have never seen a lettered Lightning offered. Cool stuff!!! If the deal falls through and you are interested in selling, please keep me in mind.

I think it's because I and a lot of other like-minded folks who at one time very much enjoyed Koontz' fiction *and* have the interest in -- and no qualms about paying premium dollars for -- signed/limited collectible editions no longer see Koontz as worthy of our reading time or money. For some it started after his arguably best period in the '70s and '80s, for other it started in the new century, for others somewhere in between (for me it was in the early '90s)...but what most discerning readers and collectors that I know agree on is that the quality of his fiction took a substantive downturn at some point, and the fiction that has been produced in the 21st century is of little to no interest, some of it trite, formulaic, and embarrassingly bad. While I love the books he produced in the '70s and '80s and he was, at one point, one of my very favorite authors, and would love to have a collection of 1st HCs of that era, I haven't bought a new book of his for a very long time (INTENSITY excepted).

I would contend that this perspective echoes many collectors', based on at least my communication with others and, as you describe above, the falling values of his collectible editions. Thus while he may still be on the bestseller lists, the people who are reading him still and keeping him on such lists are the same ones who read James Patterson and other writers of that ilk, who buy from Amazon.com or Target or Costco at the lowest prices possible...and these readers are not the kind of readers who translate that interest into the collectible market -- which would explain why he can still sell decent numbers and yet have diminishing interest in the collectible market. A popular author does not automatically translate to a collectible author, if the collectible buyers -- who one could I think rightly contend have more discriminating tastes -- view the author as both a predictably poor writer and a poor investment.

I could have nabbed a lettered False Memory back a couple of years ago but wanted something else. Someone bought it for $170US.

Well-written and well said. Although I have enjoyed reading the Odd Thomas series. I like its quirkiness. Unlike Koontz, King is increasing his critical recognition. By way of example, 11/22/63 was recognized by the New York Times as one of the 10 ten books of its year of issue. Thanks for the great response!

Wow great collection. I'm not a collector of Koontz' stuff like I am King's, but do read most of his books. Has there ever been a special edition of Watchers published? That is my favourite story of his.

[NoahM]

Thanks!!
Literary Express published a "Special Edition" of Watchers in 1998. It's a no-frills hardcover with a new introduction by Koontz with the author's facsimile signature. Watchers is to Koontz what The Stand is to King: most fans' favorite book. I'm honestly shocked that no small press has ever gone back and done a S/L edition of the novel. It's my favorite DK book as well. Sad to say, no limited edition exists. :cry:

[jcmanske]

Noah, thank you for posting the photos of your Koontz library: a very comprehensive collection. I think I was most impressed with the copy of the Reflector from his time at Shippensburg State College, vthf. Also, I admired your complete collection of Koontz's adult titles written under various pseudonyms. Further, your lettered editions are pretty cool, too. I'll continue to review and let you know what I'd love to see in closer fashion. Also, do you by chance have a list of the various S/L anthologies Koontz has signed either as a contributor, providing an intro or afterword? I'm working on a list, but would love any help you can provide. Finally, what are your pride and joy Koontz pieces? Just curious. Thanks for the follow up!

[NoahM]

JC - Thanks for such kind words and for taking the time to check out my Koontz stuff!!
The Reflector - thank you! Regrettably, it's my only one. I have photocopies of the others, but haven't been able to acquire actual copies. . .sigh. . . someday!!
Adult titles - thanks!!! Many of those were REALLY tough, and I take great pride in them, even though Koontz denies having written all but 2 of them, and those 2 he claims were so vastly re-written by the publisher that they don't resemble his original novels (the same goes for Pig Society & ULH).
Lettered editions - I really don't have too many of DK lettereds. I have a really impressive run of F. Paul Wilson lettered editions, and have most of McCammon, Ketchum, & Dan Simmons lettereds. Koontz - the Charnel House ones are all, in my opinion, hugely over-priced to begin with. I have the Dark Harvest ones and a few others, but by no means all.
Anthologies - let me check the library and get back to you on that one.
Pride & joy Koontz. . . ugh. . .what a question! Well, certainly the Reflector issue, and the lettered state Beastchild. . .some of those adult books too are utterly obscure and near-impossible, such as Thirteen and Ready!. . . . in the pre-Internet days I would have said that the UK Darkness Comes & Prison of Ice, and anthologies such as Children of Infinity & Androids, Time Machines etc. were prides, but nowadays you can find these all over the place. Back in the late 80s/early 90s, they were near-impossible!

[goheat]

Wow again, Noah! I think I need to apply for a library card so I can visit your collection and spend hours (days? weeks?) on the floor reading!

[NoahM]

Hi Goheat! Thanks so much!! Any time you're in the NY area, you're welcome to stop by & check out the 'brary! :tongue:

[NoahM]

Hi again JC - - okay, regarding your question about S/Ls that contain DK signatures. . .I don't think I can give you a complete list. Personally, for the most part, I don't collect books that don't contain Koontz FICTION. I don't generally buy books that have introductions, afterwords, forewords, etc. by DK. Perhaps an easier way to do it would be for you to e-mail me a list of what you have, and if I notice anything missing, I'll fill you in. . . ??

[zelig]

That's quite an impressive Koontz collection. Congratulations! I used to collect Koontz but had to stop as it was becoming costly, so my main focus is King for now. I still get the new books when they come out. I have a lot of Koontz books in boxes at the moment, but I recently ordered some bookcases and I'm planning on making space for them so I can display the books. Once I do, I'll post some pics. Great collection you have there!

[NoahM]

Lettered editions - I really don't have too many of DK lettereds. I have a really impressive run of F. Paul Wilson lettered editions, and have most of McCammon, Ketchum, & Dan Simmons lettereds. Koontz - the Charnel House ones are all, in my opinion, hugely over-priced to begin with. I have the Dark Harvest ones and a few others, but by no means all.
Anthologies - let me check the library and get back to you on that one.
Pride & joy Koontz. . . ugh. . .what a question! Well, certainly the Reflector issue, and the lettered state Beastchild. . .some of those adult books too are utterly obscure and near-impossible, such as Thirteen and Ready!. . . . in the pre-Internet days I would have said that the UK Darkness Comes & Prison of Ice, and anthologies such as Children of Infinity & Androids, Time Machines etc. were prides, but nowadays you can find these all over the place. Back in the late 80s/early 90s, they were near-impossible!

Good choices. Thanks for the offer on helping me with the anthologies. The day job keeps me pretty busy, but when I get a chance I'll post a list of what I have so far and see if you can add to it. I'm so pleased you decided to post the pics of your Koontz collection on this thread. I'm going to ask my son if I can hijack his FB so I can look through the individual items. I appreciate the communication and look forward to getting to know you better. It's so nice to share with others who possess the same interests.

[NoahM]

Hey JC - Thank you! You should open a Facebook page yourself. Free & easy and this way you can share up-to-the-minute news. I find it much easier than these types of forums. But regardless, please let me know what you think of the Koontz stuff on Facebook. Great to meet you too, and I agree - it's really great to be able to share my book collecting hobby with others online. Sadly, in real life, I don't know a single book collector. People who come to my house and see the books are perhaps impressed by the sheer volume of them, but not at all by individual titles, or by their scarcity. Sigh. . .
:smile:
Noah

[Jimimck]

Thanks!!
Literary Express published a "Special Edition" of Watchers in 1998. It's a no-frills hardcover with a new introduction by Koontz with the author's facsimile signature. Watchers is to Koontz what The Stand is to King: most fans' favorite book. I'm honestly shocked that no small press has ever gone back and done a S/L edition of the novel. It's my favorite DK book as well. Sad to say, no limited edition exists. :cry:

Thanks for the info. We need a petition to get one done :-)

[NoahM]

I'd be the first to sign!

[Kingfan24]

I think dean will be the start of my next collection

[zelig]

He's an interesting author to collect because of all the pseudonyms.

[NoahM]

Kingfan - That's great!! Collecting Koontz is a joy - there's SO much stuff! The pseudonyms (Yeah, Zelig!), the controversial adult stuff, the obscure short stories. . .it's a blast!

Check out our Koontz collecting page on Facebook if you haven't:

Hi Noah! Would you be able to tell me exactly which year/edition of The Reflector that is? I know in the 60's we used to publish a few a year. In recent years we only publish one larger book in the spring, but I'd love to know which exact book that one is. I'm the current Editor-in-Chief and am hoping to start adding photos of the work he did with The Reflector to our website. So far I haven't come across this book in our office but if I know the part of the year it was from it may help me track down the others.

It's really cool to see that you managed to get a copy of The Reflector and even cooler to find our magazine still popping up in conversations about Koontz's early work!


JC - Thanks for such kind words and for taking the time to check out my Koontz stuff!!

[NoahM]

Hi Maddie!! Sorry, I thought you were talking about a different Koontz group I have on Facebook!
Anyway, my copy of The Reflector is the Winter 1965/66 issue. Here's a better photograph. Koontz published short fiction and/or poetry in 6 issues:

Autumn 1965
Winter 1965/66
Spring 1966
May 1966 (special poetry issue)
Fall 1966
Spring 1967

Some of these issues have been Holy Grails for me. If I could find copies, my Koontz collection would be 99% complete!!!

[RC65]

Picked up a Fine/Fine 1st UK HC of THE DOOR TO DECEMBER as by Leigh Nichols. Not a big deal in the scheme of things, I suppose, but it joins the five Dark Harvest HCs that reprinted all his Nichols works (I *think* they were all by Nichols). With a couple notable exceptions (VOICE OF THE NIGHT and LIGHTNING), those were always my favorites by him.

[NoahM]

RC65 - Congrats on your new acquisition!! Yes, the Dark Harvest titles are all re-issues of Leigh Nichols PBOs. Door to December was originally published in the USA as a PBO under the pseudonym "Richard Paige." It was subsequently published as a PBO in the UK under the Nichols name. The Inner Circle hardcover you have is a reprint of the UK paperback, but is the first world hardcover edition of the novel, making it a desirable collectible. :-)
I'd have to say Watchers is still my favorite DK novel, although I do like all of your choices too!

[biomieg]

Is there a comprehensive (online) bibliography of Koontz available?

[NoahM]

Biomieg - that's a really tough one, mostly because of all of the adult titles that Koontz now denies having written, all of the fanzine stuff that he likewise now disowns, etc. etc.
This site is about 85 - 90% complete: http://koontzproject.com/
You can also look at my Koontz collection on Facebook here:

https://www.facebook.com/noah.mitchell.1671/media_set?set=a.10151215203903266.559788.660828265&type=3

This is 99% complete as far as fiction goes. I'm only missing one novel (I have a 2nd edition in there, but not the elusive 1st), one magazine containing short stories, and 5 of the 6 Shippensburg Reflector issues. I'd be happy to help you fill in any missing items personally if you want. You can always PM me or e-mail me directly at Suspiria13@aol.com

:smile:

[zelig]

Noah, what's the one novel you're missing as a 1st edition?

[NoahM]

Zelig - "Oral Oracle." Impossible to find. Never even seen a copy in anyone's collection. I have a 2nd edition that was re-titled and is much easier to find.

[zelig]

Thanks. I had not even heard of that one. I see it's one of the adult titles. I hadn't spent too much time collecting those. Probably why I hadn't heard of it. Looks very obscure and hard to find like you say.

[NoahM]

Yep, it's one of the adult titles. And yeah, crazy ridiculous difficult to find. I've got all of the other adult titles, which I started collecting in the very early 90s. This is the only one I haven't been able to find, out of maybe 15 or so! It's definitely giving Marshroots a run for its money!! :wink:

[jcmanske]

Sub Press is offering signed, limited editions of Charnel House's Relentless, The Good Guy and From the Corner of His Eye for $150.00 each which is well below issue price. Charnel House published only 250 of Relentless and From the Corner of His Eye was published in 2001 (500 S/L copies). Great deal! Here what it says on the Sub Press website:

We've recently scored 9-10 copies of three different Charnel House limited editions, all by Dean Koontz:

From the Corner of His Eye
Relentless
The Good Guy

All copies are in fine condition, in slipcase as issued. We did some checking on the net, and we can only find copies of Corner on offer. Neither of the others are to be found easily.

Thanks to Richardsrarebooks for bringing this to our attention on the SubPress thread. Here's the link

http://subterraneanpress.com/store/product_detail/dean_koontz_relentless_the_good_guy_and_from_the_c orner_of_his_eye

[jonp]

I have a long list of books for sale I am willing to part with, if interested. They are all in fine condition unless noted, PM me with sensible offers. PLEASE NOTE I AM UK-BASED, SHIPPING WILL BE HIGHER.
I am selling due to now being surplus to my collecting goals and I may have the opportunity to purchase a couple of very rare books which I need some funds for.

DEAN KOONTZ

False Memory - CD Lettered Edition PC copy
Lightning - Lettered Edition - Leather bound 1 of 26
The Good Guy - Charnel House Lettered Edition 1 of 26

I also have copies of S/Ls of The Key to Midnight (Some sun fading spine), The Eyes Of Darkness, The House Of Thunder, The Servants Of Twilight, Twilight Eyes (Deluxe set 1 of 50 - with NO original artwork), The Bad Place (minor fraying of cloth on slipcase), Cold Fire, Hideaway, Dragon Tears, Mr. Murder, Strange Highways (Edgewear and a couple of small tears to DJ), Fear Nothing, Seize The Night, False Memory, From The Corner Of His Eye, The Face, Life Expectancy, The Taking, and The Husband.

I have a full set of Odd Thomas Signed Limited Editions - not matching - two different numbers due to the reduction in limitation of later books.

[Jimimck]

I'm not a Koontz s/l collector and so have no idea what the above are worth but it sounds as though you have one hell of a collection.

[WeDealInLead]

Have you read Ashley Bell yet? Koontz hasn't blown me away in a long time but I still keep up with his new books. 77 Shadow Street was a fantastic book until it's Demon Seed-ish ending.

Charnel House is, as per usual, doing the limited.

But I like the yellow paint with hangings of decrepit catfish with feral ideas of Macaroni.

LOL

Are you looking for a first of Watchers. I've got one I'm willing to let go for the right price. Only flaws are yellowing to the edges and a small stain on the right page edge. PM me an offer if you're interested.

[Jimimck]

I'm not currently in the market but does anyone have thoughts on what a signed first edition Watchers would go for?

[NoahM]

$50 - $100 fine/fine

[Jimimck]

Oh wow that's not too much at all. Thanks Noah. Gives me something to aim towards one day.

[NoahM]

There was a fairly large 1st printing of Watchers. It's not that uncommon. You can easily find a nice 1st/1st on ABE, Bookfinder, etc. Good luck! :)

[Jimimck]

Just to confirm, do you think that price is for a signed copy?

[NoahM]

Signed copy might run a bit higher. F/F condition, signed, $100 - $150 is not unreasonable.

[carlosdetweiller]

The newest offering from Charnel House arrived today. Ashley Belle by Dean Koontz. I don't read much Koontz anymore but I think I will read this one. The book title is spelled out in what looks like Scrabble tiles on the traycase. The book itself is gorgeous. Bound in full black Morocco leather (not that bonded leather that other publishers use) and with a very nasty looking wasp imbedded in a Lucite bubble on the front board. The wasp is huge and measures over 1 and 1/4 inches. The lettered editions that Joe Stefko designs at Charnel House are light years ahead of most other specialty publishers.

i kinda gave up on Koontz sometime back, but damn Charnel House does fine work. that is an outstanding edition. thanks for sharing.

[Jimimck]

Damn that looks amazing Bob.
Might be a silly question but is that a real wasp?

Nice Bob! My copy hasn't arrived yet (I probably went with the Media rate shipping instead of Priority?), but hopefully this coming week!

[dnemec]

Wow...I might have to buy that one just because it is awesome!

[NoahM]

Copies are still available from Charnel -- $1500 though!

[dnemec]

Ooo...$1500?! It is beautiful, but....looks like I'll just have to bop on over to Etsy to get myself a wasp in lucite instead. :P

[jcmanske]

Bob, what a beautiful lettered edition of Ashley Bell. Joe does such amazing work! Congratulations! Someday, I want to see the collection of all those "C"'s.

Since I was asking about publication date, could I get some opinions on this signature?

I am going to sell a large proportion of my non-King books, most my PS collection (not King or Hill) and if need be my King S/Ls (possibly some of my Lettereds) and gift editions as a last resort.

I will over the day post picures of books for sale! If interested please make me reasonable offers - BTW the books are in the UK. I will give descriptions of individual books and photos on request.

Dean Koontz - S/L collection and some lettereds - False Memory is a PC Lettered. The others are actual lettereds. All are in fine or near fine condition apart from Strange Highways which has wear and a couple small tears to the DJ and is very good.

PLEASE NOTE : TWILIGHT EYES IS THE COLLECTOR'S EDITION with inscription by Dean. HOWEVER, IT IS MISSING THE ORIGINAL ARTWORK.

Jon, I know nothing about the Koontz limited market, but as a fan I'd be keen to have something special of his in my collection one day. Out of everything you have, what has the lowest market value? What would be the absolute beginners entry level Koonts item to pick up first? Would be good to know what I might expect to pay one day.

Thanks
James

Hi James, the lowest of all the ones above would be the Putnam S/Ls Cold Fire through to Mr Murder. You should be able to pick them up between $50-75. Next would be the CD S/Ls at about $75-100.

[Jimimck]

Oh wow that's great thank you. Good to know there are some at reasonable prices. Cheers!
