Stephen King rocks. If you've ever read the Dark Tower series or The Stand, you'll know why.

Koontz is okay too, but I think he lacks the subtle messages and feels King has. Plus the books I've read by Koontz all seem to play only with suspense and violence, where as King can write about, well, anything and make it sound interesting. Ever read Hearts In Atlantis?
