I agree with dmihatmttl, King goes into TOO much detail sometimes.

Anyway, top five, in order:

Robert R. McCammon
Clive Barker
Stephen King

well, I really don't stray too far from those three.

H.P. Lovecraft (his poetry especially)
Neal Stephenson
Clive Barker
Dan Simmons

Admittedly, Neal Stephenson and Dan Simmons aren't horror authors, but there you go.

CLIVE BARKER

A lot of the "horror" books I like are true crime stories about serial killers and crazy moms who go ape shit on their kids. Also, some of the stories I read, I don't know who wrote them because I read them in anthologies and pay more attention to the story than the title or author. They could have all been written by the same person for all I know most of the time.

I don't really much like Stephen King, too much. I like the concept of a lot of his stories, though. If there were a middle ground between the crappy movies and the long winded books, I'd be a Stephen King fan. But until then...

I have to agree with rikkita about Stephen King he is really long winded and the movies are horrible, besides that I dont really like him all that much anyway, but everyone has there own oppion about what they like and dislike.
