The prolific Dean Koontz, author most recently of The Darkest Evening of the Year, discusses with John J. Miller the importance of faith in his writing: “the older I’ve gotten the more I’ve realized that life has purpose and meaning and deep mystery. … The older I get the more wondrous I find life to be. … I couldn’t write about life if it didn’t have that spiritual element in it. … I’m not proselytizing; I’m just saying, this is the way to look at life.”
