![]() ![]() ![]() Regular readers of this column, as well as literally everyone in my entire social circle, know that I am a ride-or-die Constant Reader Friend And Neighbor. If I’m forced to pick a favorite, I’m definitely going with Stephen King. The implication, of course, being that Dean Koontz is second fiddle to Stephen King, the Pepsi to his Coke, the Megadeth to his Metallica. Panicked, Brian runs over and asks the man, “Are you Stephen King?!” To which the man replies, “No, I’m Dean Koontz.” At which point Brian runs him over again. The animated sitcom Family Guy, known for pushing humor to the edge of good taste, referenced the incident in an episode where Brian accidentally runs someone over. He wrote of being in the worst pain of his entire life, how the entire right side of his body felt like it had been crushed, and that he had come close to death that day. In 1999, Stephen King was struck by a van while out on a walk and was injured quite gravely. Spoilers ahead for Watchers, Phantoms, Strangers, and Lightning, all by Dean Koontz of course. ![]() Each week I’ll be taking you on a deep dive into something creepy and/or crawly and talking your ear off about why I love it so much. ![]() Welcome to THIS JUSTIN, a column dedicated to my love of all things weird and spooky. ![]()
