Dean Koontz on Faith
Thriller writer Dean Koontz talks with National Catholic Register about his Catholic faith and its relevancy to his writing and his focus on evil:
"While his novels are often filled with darkness (Faith & Family magazine warns: 'Disturbing scenes include violence, gore and frightening portrayals of great evil; some sexuality.'), he is animated by his Catholic faith -- a faith which has become more evident in his books in recent years.
"His most recent book is Brother Odd (Bantam), his latest in a series of books about the character Odd Thomas. Koontz spoke with Register senior writer Tim Drake from his home in California about faith and its impact on his writing.
"I don’t shy away from having violent things happen, but I don’t dwell on it. I feel, as a Christian, writing books that have a moral purpose to them, it’s actually incumbent upon me to write about evil, because this kingdom is Satan’s and he is the prince of the world. It’s here and it’s among us."
