Pros

  • Dean Koontz is known for fast paced horror novels - try Phantoms, TickTock, or Intensity
  • A book that isn't mentioned much in the horror community that I love is Intensity by Dean Koontz. It's not a book that will scare you as such but it has you holding your breath and can be anxiety inducing.
  • Parent context: 4) Intensity by Dean Koontz - the only thriller that shook my dad to his core Reply: Yes!!! The audiobook book if this is the best audiobook book I’ve listened to.
  • 4) Intensity by Dean Koontz - the only thriller that shook my dad to his core
  • Intensity also comes to mind as a good story.

Cons

  • I recently got into Dean, reading Intensity, Watchers, a bit of Strange Highways, and The Door to December, and I’ve started noticing a pattern to the way he writes his female characters, even the kids.
  • ####22) - **Intensity** - *Dean Koontz* - (3.5/5)

I loved the trapped and claustrophobic feeling of this book and want more.
