Totally agree, Mr Love Monkey.
I don't think much of Koontz' recent books, but some of his earlier ones were great IMO.
As well as Whispers, Servants of Twilight, & the excellent Lightning, I'd recommend...
- Watchers
- Strangers
- Midnight
- Phantoms
- Twilight Eyes
and a few of his other early ones from the late 80s / early to mid 90s
