1. Matthew Reilly 2. Gary Braunbeck 3. Tom Piccirilli 4. Neil Gaiman 5. Charlie Huston Unfortunately, most of these are bought online because they're much cheaper that way, and some of the stores around here don't stock Pic. I almost got kicked out of a B&N when they didn't stock Shadow Season. |

1. Ramsey Campbell 2. Dan Simmons 3. Michael A. Stackpole 4. James Herbert 5. Graham Masterton I tend to read novels that have a setting or plot I find myself drawn to more than following any certain writer. For instance, even though I think Ramsey Campbell is the absolute best writer ever, I don't read his non-supernatural books because I don't find myself excited about it. |

Gary Braunbeck - Prodigal Blues Joe Hill - Heart-Shaped Box Greg Gifune - Deep Night Stephen King - Anything he's written Brian Keene - The Castaways And a nod to Richard Laymon. I couldn't include him in my list because he has passed. He will always be one of my favorites. |

All right .... I'll make a serious list. 1. Greg F. Gifune < This guy has five brains and can write an entire novella in his sleep. 2. Tom Piccirilli and Gary A. Braunbeck < I still say they need to write an epic novel together. 3. Joe Lansdale < More respect for this guy, dammit! 4. Kealan Patrick Burke < Definitely part of the future of dark fiction. 5. Steve Vernon and Rob Dunbar < Vernon is a mad genius, and that Dunbar guy scares me. |

1. Matthew Reilly--Ice Station 2. Gary Braunbeck--Prodigal Blues 3. Tom Piccirilli--Thrust 4. Neil Gaiman--American Gods or issue 19 of Sandman, A Midsummer's Night Dream 5. Charlie Huston--Already Dead Definite mentions of Hard Roads by the esteemed Steve Vernon and Kill Whitey by Brian Keene are warranted, as well. |

Damn, I don't know how I forgot to add Alan Moore in my top 5! I would probably recommend Watchmen or From Hell. |
