Could you explain it to me? Does he copy King or something?

I was also wondering, best I can find is from this reddit comment:

Koontz was never on King's level as a writer, so King would never have been threatened by him.

Dean Koontz comes up a lot with King fans because they wrote similar stuff at one point. Dean Koontz went through many phases, and during one, he wrote a bunch of government conspiracy stuff — I strongly recommend The House of Thunder — which was similar to what King did with Firestarter and a couple others. So at that time, in the 1980s, they were doing the same thing. Since then, however, both authors took separate paths.

Ah, so King was just fucking with him, lol.
