Dean Ray Koontz (born July 9, 1945 in Everett, Pennsylvania) is an American writer. He is best-known for writing many successful novels that could broadly be described as suspense thrillers, but which also frequently incorporate elements of horror, science fiction, mystery, and satire. Several of his books have appeared on the New York Times Bestseller List. Early in his career, Dean Koontz wrote under an array of pen names, but since the '80s has written mostly under his own name.
