   • Demon Seed (1973) Though Koontz had been writing for a decade prior to Demon Seed, this book was his first bestseller. It’s the captivating account of Susan Harris, a wealthy and reclusive divorcée, and the artificially intelligent computer that imprisons her in her home.
   • Night Chills (1976) A recurring motif in Koontz’s work is the immensely-evil-yet-unknown entity wreaking havoc on innocent people, hence posing a mystery for the protagonists to solve.
   • Whispers (1980) Whispers is recognized as the book that definitively brought Koontz into the mainstream. It follows Hilary Thomas, an LA-based screenwriter who’s being stalked by a violent psychopath.
   • The Mask (1981) Originally published under Koontz’s pen name Owen West, The Mask is a lesser-known creepy classic that’s great for Halloween reading.
