John Skipp and Craig Spector
I discovered these guys a few years back, and they've since become two of my favorite authors. Their books are always like a kick in the face, especially The Bridge and The Light at the End, which is one of my favorite vampire stories. The imagery in The Bridge is insane, and that book stays with me for days every time I read it.
Any opinions? |
It's too bad that they don't seem to be writing anymore, as both of those books you mentioned were quite good, especially The Light at the End. The so-called "splatterpunk" movement was mostly terrible, but these guys did it up right.

Yeah, it's too bad they don't write anymore.....The Bridge was truly an accomplishment, the imagery in it gave me nightmares a few times. I've been wanting to get their Book Of The Dead, which is a zombie anthology I think, but I haven't been able to find a copy for under 30 dollars yet.
The Scream is a pretty good book too, not as good as LATE and TB, but still definitely worth a read. |
Quote:
Skipp has self-published a very fine novel entitled CONSCIENCE which also features a handful of short stories. Well worth picking up. He's also got a fine collection of essays called STUPOGRAPHY. |
I wasn't aware of that. I'll have to go book hunting now.
Thanks. |
