Hasn't this been posted before? Listing favourite authors is very subjective - and pointless to anyone but yourself. Des - Jack Ketchum is one of my favourite writers. Give him a try. His very affordable short story collection "Peaceable Kingdom" is a great place to start. | ||

Lists are good unpretentious fun. Even the infuriating ones. As evidence, here's how the 20 authors on that list should be ranked, in terms of literary merit, imho: 1. H.P. Lovecraft 2. Ramsey Campbell 3. M.R. James 4. Edgar Allan Poe 5. Algernon Blackwood 6. Richard Matheson 7. Robert Bloch 8. Clive Barker 9. Peter Straub 10. Ambrose Bierce 11. Stephen King 12. Robert R.

And here's my own personal Top 20 horror/weird fiction authors i.e. the one's I get most excited about discovering a new story or novel by: 1. H.P. Lovecraft 2. Ramsey Campbell 3. M.R. James 4. Robert Aickman 5. Walter de la Mare 6. Arthur Machen 7. Algernon Blackwood 8. Edgar Allan Poe 9. Ray Bradbury 10. Clive Barker 11. Fritz Leiber 12. William Hope Hodgson 13. Bram Stoker 14. Clark Ashton Smith 15. Shirley Jackson 16. Richard Matheson 17. Theodore Sturgeon 18. Robert Bloch 19. Christopher Fowler 20. H.R. Wakefield I'm slowly expanding my knowledge of modern horror authors (over the last 20-30 years) and will be interested to see how many of them make inroads into that list over the next few years... | ||

My own, somewhat predictable, list of favourite 'weird' fiction writers, in no particular order: Arthur Machen Fritz Leiber Ramsey Campbell Robert Aickman E.T.A. Hoffmann Shirley Jackson H.P. Lovecraft Algernon Blackwood Theodore Sturgeon J. Sheridan Le Fanu Ray Bradbury T.E.D. Klein Walter de la Mare William Hope Hodgson Lisa Tuttle Manly Wade Wellman Richard Matheson Lucius Shepard Edgar Allan Poe M.R. James Angela Carter Lafcadio Hearn Jack Cady Isak Dinesen Thomas Ligotti There are a lot more I was about to list, but if I don't leave it here I'll be up to fifty names before I know it! I retrospect, I shouldn't really have called that list 'worthless' - it's obviously just one person's opinion. I still find it pretty ridiculous, though. | ||
| Joel (Joel) Username: Joel Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 217.37.199.45 |
Stevie, that's a serious list! The kind of list only a veteran list-writer could accomplish. Leaving aside the positions (which really do have to be different for every reader), that's not a bad stab at a genre canon. A few more who deserve consideration: Dennis Etchison, Thomas Ligotti, Charles L. Grant, M. John Harrison, John Metcalfe, Lisa Tuttle, Harlan Ellison, Joseph Payne Brennan. Graham Joyce if he counts as a horror writer. From previous lists on this thread Ambrose Bierce deserves reinstatement. Stephen King is a contender but wouldn't automatically make my top 20 – lots of good writers wouldn't. | ||
| Joel (Joel) Username: Joel Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 217.37.199.45 |

Here's another of those classic 'pub argument' questions: were the California Group (Bradbury, Matheson, Beaumont, Bloch and others) more important for the genre's development than the Lovecraft circle (HPL, Howard, Smith, Derleth, Long and others)? Were they more important even than the UK 'Golden Age' (Machen, Blackwood, Hodgson, James and others)? Dennis Etchison once said that there were four writers you had to have read and appreciated if you were serious about writing horror: Bradbury, Bloch, Matheson and Sturgeon. Obviously we're talking about divergent traditions here. You could say that Machen is the genre's Thomas Aquinas, whereas Bradbury is its Martin Luther. | ||

Joel, I agree about Angela Carter - same thing with Isak Dinesen, and Jack Cady, I suppose. Lafcadio Hearn wasn't, strictly speaking, 'just' a horror writer either. I think with my list I was aiming more at writers who succeed in conveying a sense of the macabre and doing it with a writing style I find powerful and beautiful. I almost listed some of the ones you mentioned - Metcalfe, Ellison, Grant, etc. - and would like to add yet more names, but it would go on forever! Beaumont, Jean Ray, L.P. Hartley, Wagner, Kirk ..... where to stop? | ||

I still love the same authors I did back when I was a kid. The only difference is that I keep adding to this list as I discover more writers. For example, Kelly Link is somebody I think is a brilliant, brilliant writer, and she makes my ever revolving, ever adaptable list. Again, there's no right or wrong. If Stephen King comes below Barker, then that's simply one man's opinion. If he comes above Barker, same thing. That's the inherent silliness of lists, yet its attraction. It'd be boring if we all had the same list with the same writers in the same positions. | ||

I don't understand why King is being left out of lists. Amid the average stuff, he's hit enough high horror notes to be among the best, surely. Has anyone written a more terrifying scene than the hobbling sequence in Misery? Bloch's Psycho shower scene? Oh, I don't think so. Not in the same class. Hence my confusion. | ||

The Prince of Darkness in a smoking jacket himself... Mr Dennis Wheatley. Shaun Hutson can't hold a black candle to him! | ||

To be honest, I'd take King's ten greatest horror moments over almost anybody's. I don't care if there are another 100 average scenes. I'm interested in peak achievements. I mean, Blackwood wrote a lot of shit, didn't he? But that's forgotten, while The Willows etc live on. I view King in the same way. | ||

I'd go for 'The Shining' as his horror masterpiece but agree 'Pet Sematary' is one of his undeniably great novels. My personal favourite is still 'The Stand' though. I think King is capable of doing supernatural horror brilliantly but often dilutes his talent by branching into sci-fi, fantasy, crime and soap opera - which he is less convincing at. And he isn't half fond of letting his influences show - to a frequently distracting degree, imo. | ||

Cujo was one of the first books to really make me cry. I read it in one sitting on a long car journey with my parents when I was 16. There's still tearstains on the last couple of pages. My dad actually stopped the car to see what was wrong with me. There is no other book in existance (in my experience) where the author so completely pulls the rug out from under the reader in ONE line of dialogue, shattering the exultant mood of victory and plunging the reader into grief. | ||

Weber - I remember reading CUJO when I was about fourteen and crying my eyes out also. The scene when the little kid imagines he's on a play swing as he slowly fades. Originally there was no prologue/introduction of why CUJO became as he did, until King's editor asked him to write one. But I guess everybody knows that and I'm preaching to the converted. | ||

Is that really what Dean Koontz's hair looks like? Good lord. King's omission from some of the lists above baffles me as well. He's only responsible for some of the most striking scenes in horror fiction of the last thirty-five years (admittedly some via movie adaptations of his work). Whether you're judging on quality or quantity, he can't be ignored. >And a special honorary mention for my favourite bad horror author.

There is no other book in existance (in my experience) where the author so completely pulls the rug out from under the reader in ONE line of dialogue, shattering the exultant mood of victory and plunging the reader into grief. You've brought to mind, Weber, a story I read recently, by (mentioned above I believe) Charles Beaumont, called "The Hunger"(1955); collected in BEST AMERICAN NOIR OF THE CENTURY, yet another example of a story that could easily be put in any horror anthology. Anyway, never was so bland, innocuous, empty of a sentence as "That would be nice," used to such disturbing effect, as it does capping off this one.... Greatest closing lines of horror stories. Someone should do a list of that. Easy quiz for you, Weber: Name the author/work of this famous closing horror-story line: "Just call me -- Jack." | ||

I only one I don't recognize is Pete's second one down. The best I've read of Bloch is his novel THE SCARF, Gary, the only novel I've read by him. And it's not really horror, but noir. His stuff is yes all gimmicky, but compellingly readable. Compulsively readable. You should try more Stanley Ellin, Gary. Because he's the closest comparable to Bloch (except for Bradbury, when he wears his horror hat), but sans the gimmicks. I'd argue the story Pete quoted from, of Ramsey's, is probably indeed his most famous. And perhaps his most surreal. It's essentially a nightmare, described. Lacking in traditional structure, character and plot development, etc., it's not something you'd ever find Bloch writing. But that's why we go to Bloch for Bloch, and to Ramsey for Ramsey.... | ||
