While many (Poe, Matheson, King, etc.) my all-time favorite is Robert Bloch.
Criminally underappreciated (probably unknown!) by the public at large. PSYCHO, of course, is his best known work and I defend it rabidly against those who must make the "book vs. film" comparison and put the film on top.
American Gothic, Night of the Ripper and Firebug top my list of Bloch novels, and then, of course, there are those short stories. Love them. Bloch's short stories are probably what most influenced me in trying my hand at writing fiction.
