Dean Koontz Authorship

Disputed Authorship

During the 1960s and 1970s, a number of letters, articles, and novels were ostensibly written by Koontz. However, he has stated he did not write them. They include 30 erotic novels, allegedly written together by Koontz and his wife Gerda, including books such as Thirteen and Ready!, Swappers Convention, and the last one, Hung, published under the name Leonard Chris. These include contributions to the fanzines Energumen and BeABohema in the late 1960s and early 1970s, including articles that mention the erotic novels, such as a movie column called Way Station in BeABohema.

He has stated on his website  that he used only the 10 known pen names and there are no secret pen names used by Dean; he adds that his own identity was stolen by a person he had previously worked with professionally, who submitted letters and some articles to fanzines under Koontz’s name between 1969 and at least the early 1970s. Dean has stated that he was only made aware of these bogus letters and articles in 1991 in a written admission from the identity thief. He has said that he will reveal this person’s name in his memoirs.
