I cut my teeth on King from age 10 and still have a dark spot in my heart for his work, though mostly his older stuff. When I discovered Lovecraft, Machen, Poe and Benson, I was 'lost'. I have a slightly unhealthy addiction to R.L. Stevenson's work as well. Perhaps its my fascination with dusty old things that has kept my focus with the old authors. One of the reasons I'm here is to delve more deeply into the works of modern authors.
