wtf...

Thomas Ligotti
M.R. James
Philip K. Dick
J.G. Ballard
H.P. Lovecraft
Robert Jordan (not a technically brilliant author, but I love his books nonetheless)
Michael Moorcock
Tad Williams
Roger Zelazny
Harlan Ellison
Robert Silverberg

I could go on, but I think that's enough for now.

H.P. Lovecraft
Chuck Palaniuk
Jack Ketchum is fun...

I still have a place in my heart for Clive Barker though I don't really do his new fantasy. Stephen King was the man who got me reading in the first place. It's just unfortunate that he ended up writing meta bullshit and misc. garbage.

My little sister read R.L. Stine and Pike when she was younger (6-8) ;)

I'm gonna say Chuck Palaniuk one more time so everyone gets the point...absolute super awsomeness.

that's funny - i always thought my mother's cunt's prose was dry and her plotting a bit derivative - but to each his own!

haha!

Yeah King got me into Horror but I prefer Barker's prose and bigger scale. Can't fault Ms Rice, she's phenomenal, although her husband's poetry at the start of chapters could be avoided, as its shit.
