I like both King and Koontz. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Haven't read any of their works in years but I'd recommend all the old King to anyone who likes freaky sotries and having books scare the bejesus out of them
The original Stand (released 1979) was fantastic as was Salem's Lot (as reading material, not movies). I think King got a little stranger after all his books started turning into movies and afterwards, I didn't find his writing that appealing.
One of my favs was the book full of short stories that were later developed into novels but I forget the title.
Its been ages.
