Interesting horror authors?

Question

I want a list of your favorite horror authors. Except for Stephen King, Dean Koontz, and Richard Laymon (Since I already have books by them.)

If you can; list your favorite books by this author also.

Answer 1

I was going to say King and Koontz, but I agree with Kate D.

Edgar Allen Poe is a genius, read it!

Check out The Tell-Tale Heart by him as well.

I think you can just find it on the internet. It isn't that long, mind.

Answer 2

Robert McCammon

Bentley Little

Answer 3

I like John Connolly - who's novels revolve around detective Charlie Parker. The best are, I think, "Every Dead Thing" (the first) and "The Killing Kind" (The third), but the others were all good. Also, Nocturnes (short stories, not in series) is very good and one of them ("the new daughter") is set to be made into the basis for a film shortly. Mind you, the Charlie Parker ones got a bit wierd/religious mostly from the Dark Angel onewards, but it's not so noticable in the first three/four.

Answer 4

I love james patterson, he is more mystery though. I also recently read a  series of books by dean koontz brother odd, and two others about odd thomas very interesting books.

Answer 5

Ted Dekker.

Favorite books: Adam, Skin, and House.

He writes more thrillers than horrors, but I don't think I can handle much horrors. I'm a chicken. (:

Answer 6

William Hope Hodgson - The House on the Borderland .
