FAQ Last updated: 08.23.2003 17:48 |

| It is not the intention of
this FAQ to be a comprehensive representation of the works of Dean Koontz. It is
only meant to be a quick reference guide to his more commonly known and acknowledged
works. Although this FAQ strives to provide accurate information, no guarantee is
made to its accuracy. |
|
| SPECIAL NOTE: In January 2001, I entered into an agreement with Cemetery Dance Publications to write a comprehensive guide to collecting Dean Koontz. Due to the substantial amount of work this will be, this FAQ will most likely suffer. Details can be found @ http://www.webpan.com/koontz/. | |
