I read some Harlen Ellison along time ago..was told if I liked SK I would really like his stuff. It was excellent, but I can't find his books anymore.

Ellison is fantastic .. blows King and Koonts away.
More of a short story writer though .. and more 'alternative fiction' than horror.
Koontz wrote some decent sci-fi ages ago .. which is why i dont mind the newer stuff he wrote with a sci-fi bent ..
But as far as his other books go .. they're the same as most of the big seller horror author - full of tired cliches and poorly drawn characters. Light bathroom reading ...
