| 1 | * {{Anvilicious}}: |
| 2 | ** Particularly when it comes to Christian themes or Libertarian philosophy. |
| 3 | ** ''One Door Away from Heaven'' suggest anyone who in any way, shape, or form supports utilitarian bioethics is [[GodwinsLaw the next thing to a Nazi]]. |
| 4 | * FridgeHorror: In Dean Koontz's novel ''Relentless'', as a child the main character witnesses [[spoiler:the brutal and senseless murders of almost his entire extended family at the hands of his estranged uncle. Not only that, he makes the bodies presentable before going upstairs and taking a nap before calling the police.]] Even he himself wonders how he managed to live a normal life after that. |
| 5 | * HilariousInHindsight: ''Darkfall'', which was released in 1984, features a protagonist named [[Film/Titanic1997 Jack Dawson]]. |
| 6 | * MoralEventHorizon: Koontz is willing to do whatever it takes to ensure that the readers absolutely despise the villain and everything the villain stands for. Sometimes he goes too far, and takes his villains into BadIsGoodAndGoodIsBad territory. |
| 7 | * NightmareFuel: The Retro Virus in ''Fear Nothing'' and ''Seize the Night'', and what it does to the infected. Also the things that occur in the egg room in Fort Wyvern. Plenty of his villains and their actions are worthy of mention. Chances are if its a non-satirical Koontz story, parts of it venture into very scary territory. |
| 8 | * ParanoiaFuel: The entire ''plot'' of ''Literature/FalseMemory'', especially for anyone who has ever visited a therapist. [[spoiler:The BigBad is a psychiatrist who {{mind rape}}s his patients and forces them to do all kinds of things for his own entertainment. He implanted many of their phobias in the first place, and once he's done screwing with them (sometimes [[RapeAsDrama literally]]), he often [[PsychicAssistedSuicide drives them]] to creative suicides and/or homicides. He was doing this for ''twenty years'' before somebody finally figured it out.]] |
