Dean Koontz[edit]

what does it mean he was discovered by dean koontz? in the personal history section, it sounds like he was discovered by stephen king if anyone. i don't know anything about him, but maybe someone could explain what if anything koontz did? --dan 23:28, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That confused me as well. I believe Little's rise to popularity was started when Stephen King was asked what he was reading, to which King replied something like "I'm reading the new Bentley Little novel." I don't have a source for that, sorry. But both King and Koontz have praised his books on the covers and in the comments section in the beginning of the books. 4.88.49.159 14:24, 26 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Books[edit]

I think it's time someone made pages about his books. I don't have an account and I'm not very good at editing, but I'll help if someone starts it.

I second that notion. I haven't got an account either (procrastinator till the end!) but I would help as well. (Perhaps I should make an account...) 4.88.49.159 14:24, 26 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

According to Wikipedia's notability guidelines for books, it seems to me the only book that's article-worthy is The Revelation. Of which I haven't read (yet). -WarthogDemon 00:56, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Bentleylittle.jpg[edit]

Image:Bentleylittle.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

"unusual sexuality"[edit]

Come on, most of Little's "unusual sexuality" is about women with full pubic hair. That's not unusual. Not even in the US. 97.103.80.222 (talk) 18:44, 1 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Heh, I seem to recall Little going a bit farther than just pubic hair.--CyberGhostface (talk) 20:21, 1 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You haven't read enough of him then. -WarthogDemon 06:12, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

64.250.222.78 (talk) 16:55, 7 February 2017 (UTC)hidden among truth: I felt that his work may be a wanting to fulfill some sort of deviant behavior. His writings are overly sexual toward children and have overtones of "When I did this" to them. I seriously think he should be investigated further in his personal life.[reply]

Recurring themes restoration[edit]

I’m thinking of cleaning up the “recurring themes and characters” deletion edit section from about 10 years ago and restoring the section since a lot of it is what defines Little’s style and elements of his work (otherwise he could be any horror author). The original was poorly written or, at the very least, hastily cobbled together. Someone at one point cleaned it up (it might have even been me, it’s been so long) then another person who later edited it posted some junk somewhere along the way the whole section was deleted from the looks of it. Anyone have any great objections to restoring it? It would be about a week or two before I could, I’d have to piece together what I could from the edits and manually fix it.
