From Hellnotes: after the sudden death of popular horror author Richard Laymon, a remarkable literary estate has been uncovered. Dean Koontz, as a dear friend of the family, was asked to help organizing and catalogueing the vast material, collaborating with Laymon's agent Bob Tanner. Four completed manuscripts and several other partials were already found, and Laymon's numerous fans, though aggrieved for the unexpected loss, will certainly be glad to know that U.S. publishers have expressed interest toward these works.

On January 10 2001, in a YAHOO! special live chat about his latest work, From the Corner of His Eye, Dean Koontz answered a question about the third book in the Cristopher Snow series by saying that he has momentarily "put it aside to write False Memory, From the Corner of his Eye and another book to be called One Door Away From Heaven."
So here's the title of the next DK book that we'll find in our bookstores. I hope to find out more about it as soon as possible.
