Post subject:  Authors you've read for the first time this year
Seems like I'm reading a well-known author for the first time on a regular basis this year. It's amazing to me that there are so many of these writers I had yet to read, but it's cool knowing I've expanded my horizons. :)

Rick Hautala
Mary SanGiovanni
Sarah Langan
F. Paul Wilson
Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child
John Skipp (currently reading)
Peter Straub
Charlee Jacob
Poppy Z. Brite
Neil Gaiman
Ramsey Campbell
Melanie Tem
Thomas Ligotti
Peter Crowther

I may be missing one or two, but still - that's a lot of first-time authors! How about the rest of you?

Post subject:  Re: Authors you've read for the first time this year
I'm gonna say George Martin. Yes, I tried to read Game of Thrones when it first came out and couldn't get through the first chapter. But now I see what all the fuss was about. Outside of that, most of my reading has been either about Thailand, muay thai/muay boran/krabi krabong, or about buddhism. Plus my school books.

Post subject:  Re: Authors you've read for the first time this year
Horror--Sarah Langan
Mary SanGiovanni
Matthew Warner (though I had read his short story and essays in Eulogies, Blood Born was the first novel)

Thrillers--Boyd Morrison
Andrew Grant (if you like Burn Notice, you'd like this writer--an R-rated, slightly amoralistic Burn Notice)


I'd put Jack Rogan up there, but found out at Necon he's really Christopher Golden. (And yes, Nanci, I did read the new review of the second Rogan book here on HW, but I knew before I read that.)

I'd say last year was probably a bigger year for me discovering new writers. You've got some great ones on your list, Craig. I need to read some of the Pendergast novels, so I might catch up on those soon.

I've tried Game Of Thrones and couldn't get past page 50. I might eventually get back to it.

Post subject:  Re: Authors you've read for the first time this year
If you're visiting Horror World and you haven't read any George R. R. Martin (aka Railroad), I suggest skipping Game of Thrones and going straight to the novel Fevre Dream, and/or the novelette Sandkings. Both terrific horror stories.
Author:  ttzuma [ Wed Aug 10, 2011 1:57 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: Authors you've read for the first time this year
I should have put down Martin's name because Nanci turned me on to Fevre Dream and I read that also over the last year. I really, enjoyed it.

I've never read James A. Moore. But I will rectify that this year. Just picked up a paperback of his at a used book store in Florida. Can't remember what it is called though.

Wasn't Sandkings made into the premiere episode of the Outer Limits revival that Showtime did in the 90s?

I met Martin at Marcon about 20 years ago, when his big thing was the Wild Cards series of books.
Author:  SteveVernon [ Thu Aug 11, 2011 10:14 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: Authors you've read for the first time this year
Yup, Sandkings WAS an episode of the Outer Limits with Beau Bridges - but it was a LOT different than the original story.

I saw that episode, thought it was just o.k.

Post subject:  Re: Authors you've read for the first time this year
Of the well known authors I've read for the first time this year (embarrassingly enough) the list includes:

Jack Ketchum
Tim Curran
Bryan Smith
Ed Gorman
Steven Savile
Rick Hautala
Kealan Patrick Burke
Gary Braunbeck

Of the soon to be well known authors I've read for the first time this year I must mention these:

Paul Tremblay
James Newman
Matthew Warner
Adam Golaski
Pearce Hansen
Matt Hults

I've been trying to vary my author reads this year-I don't think I've read more than one book of any author yet (except a co-authored book) so I know I'll be adding to this list.
Author:  shadogrrrl [ Sat Aug 13, 2011 9:36 am ]
Post subject:  Re: Authors you've read for the first time this year
After Life by Jaron Lee Knuth
Everdead by Rio Youers
Fireworks by James A. Moore
Dark Hollow by Brian Keene
These are the authors I've read for the first time this year. I can't decide which one I liked best, but I know I'll be reading more by them.
After I finish the book I'm reading now, I plan to read the Halloween books by Al Sarrantonio. I don't think I've read any of his books before. I really look forward to those.
