Dean Koontz Short Stories
Part 1: 1965-1969 |
Dean Koontz is certainly not as renowned for short stories as he is for novels, but, as you're about to find out, he produced a fair amount of short fiction in his life. In these four pages, which actually cost me a good deal of research, I have listed, hopefully without any painful mistake, all of the short stories written by Koontz since the explosion of his career. For each one of them, when available, you'll find the following information:
Two more things: the short stories are presented in chronological order, and of course you'll find them listed more than once if they were issued in different years or in different collections / magazines. Secondly, if you're wondering what "The Reflector" is, I'll tell you that it is a magazine issued by the Shippensburg University (PA - USA), for which Koontz wrote a good deal of short stories when he was a student.
Oh, I forgot, if you know something more, or if you have information about these items that might help this list...drop me a line.
