I must admit. I have probably got the whole works of James Herbert, Stephen King and Dean Koontz...

I love a little bit of horror.

Clive Barker is my personal favorite.

Christabel by Samuel Taylor Coleridge.

Isn't Clive Barker an action writer? I might be thinking of someone else, I visited their site recently...

No, not action. Still, he's very careful with whether or not to call his books horror or not. In my eyes, it's the closest genre you could nail it with. That and splatterpunk.

I wish he would hurry up and finish his Frankenstein series already. I know it is on hold because of Hurricane Katrina, but I am of the opinion that he should have gone with his original plan, since the whole thing is pretty much an alternate reality anyway. Ah, well, points to him for wanting to make it modern day in the real world.

I'm very much into horror. I'm a horror novelist, so I love to make horror stories, and I'm trying to work with my horror novels. I love Stephen King, Shirley Jackson, Peter Straub, and Robert Bloch (though most of them wrote more than horror). I'm currently trying to read Shadowland by Peter Straub.

I did not care for Shadowland, to be honest. I felt I was drifting through it and never really "anchored in" to the story.
