“Devoted,” Dean Koontz’s latest bestselling novel, has several characters none of us would ever think to be avid readers, yet he writes of one of them:

Bella could not live without stories. Stories were the blessing of intelligence. They were food for the soul. They were medicine. You could live a thousand lives through stories—and learn to shape your own life into a story of the best kind.

Consider yourself blessed if you are among the millions who have discovered how extraordinarily entertaining, enriching, insightful, and intelligent Dean Koontz’s stories are.

He is a phenomenally prolific novelist—more than 100 novels so far, including ones he wrote under 10 different pen names early during his 52 years as a published author. He has also published novellas and collections of short stories and been a poet and a screenwriter.
