Any New True Horror Authors?
Can anyone recommend any new proper horror writers that I may not know about? Here in England book shops and book clubs are just full of cop thrillers such as stuff by James Patterson.
Where are the new generation of true horror writers to replace Stephen King, Robert R McCammon,Richard Laymon,James Herbert and Clive Barker to name just a few. |

Thomas Ligotti
might I suggest the weird, horror short stories of Thomas Ligotti...
here are a couple reviews so you can get a taste. "Thomas Ligotti is one of the very few great masters of visionary horror." Ramsey Campbell "Thomas Ligotti is a major figure in the contemporary literature of supernatural horror. Like H. P. Lovecraft and Ramsey Campbell, he is a scholar of literature, a fine critical mind, and a superior writer of the short story. His work is a delight for connoisseurs and a revelation to new readers. Ligott is an explosion of darkness." David G. Hartwell Personally, he is my favorite next to H. P. Lovecraft himself. You won't want to read more than one, maybe two at a time so you can savor the atmosphere of unreality he invokes. Darrick |

Have you tried Douglas Clegg? I've read three of his so far and really enjoyed them - but be warned!!!! I've never managed to find him in a book shop in England.. my books are from amazon.co.uk and ebay.
Check out his website on http://www.douglasclegg.com/ |
