King or Koontz..?
 
Okay, so I'm new on here, but I've already made some nice and diverse friends.

Some favour King over Koontz as a writer, so the simple question is:

King or Koontz?

Please vote.

King ( only his earlier short stories).

and I bet dean koontz was pen name that king used.

King definitely. His only weakness is he often has trouble bringing closure to his books (which is why many fans like his short stories the best).

This is a very serious allegation. ::danger::

I've got to admit Mr Myers that getting to ends of both The Stand and IT almost killed me (well, my eyesight for sure!). I've always wanted to reread them both but they're such an undertaking I'm not so sure.

Both are certainly on my bucket list! ::shocked::

Definitely King. Could never get into Koontz

Maybe go right back to his earlier stuff? Phantoms, Strangers, Watchers, Lightning. Or the Odd Thomas books? (Am clutching at straws here - aren't I?!) ::sad::

i love em both but gotta go king, as a discriptive writer there arnt many better, he can paint with words that man, even if very occasionally he gets a bit too long winded.
