A very much long due project for HDC, imo. A compilation of all those great writers who significantly contributed to create, shape & set the standard of our beloved genre...is truly need to be done.
Anyway, though already mentioned but here are my favorites... Edgar Allan Poe H.P. Lovecraft Mary Shelley Bram Stoker M.R. James Richard Matheson Robert Bloch Clive Barker Stephen King Ramsey Campbell |
Richard Laymond
Jack Ketchum Clark Ashton Smith Alex Scarrow Arthur Conan Doyle |
I am thinking of having a ranked list for this project. We haven't had one of these ranked lists for quite some time.
It will be interesting to see who HDC picks as their #1 favorite author from so many of our genre's absolute best. And also it would be very interesting to see who all break into the Top 10 of the 100 as well. (although I have a feeling it will be the usual) #1 in your list will pick up 10 points, #2 gets 9, #3 gets 8...till #10, who gets 1 point. If you have more nominations to add after your #10, they will get ½ point each. Let's see your top 10 choices, folks. |
Here's my ranked list:
1. Stephen King 2. H.P. Lovecraft 3. Edgar Allan Poe 4. M. R. James 5. Ray Bradbury 6. Shirley Jackson 7. Roald Dahl 8. Bentley Little 9. Richard Matheson 10. Hector Hugh Munro (Saki) |
1. King
2. Koontz 3. Dan Simmons 3. Alex Scarrow 4. Clark Ashton Smith 5. Arthur Conan Doyle 6. John Ajvide Lindqvist 8. Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan 8. Clive Barker 9. Poe 10. Lovecraft |
Nice. Let's see plenty more, folks!
