I read YOUR work all the time, and I enjoy it...but I wonder, who do YOU read? Other than the old masters of the genre, who are your favorite horror writers of today? I read you, Brian Keene, Anne Rice, Richard Laymon, Jack Ketchum and Kim Paffenroth....others as well, but I am very interested to hear who YOU would recommend. Just finished "Black Train", it was insanely good! Anxiously awaiting "Witch House". Thanks, Brandon Lee Spitler. |

My biggest problem, between deadlines and taking care of my mother, is the outrageous lack of TIME I have to read other folks' books so when it comes to modern horror I tend to only read stuff by friends: Ketchum, Keene, Pic, Wrath. Plus the books I've read by Jordan Krall I've loved, Brian Smith, Gord Rollo, etc. (My all time fave modern horror writer is Ramsey Campbell but, damn, I haven't had time to read his newer stuff.) But I wish I could read more. Another problem, on rare occasions when I do have extra time, I find I don't like to read an influx of modern novels because I don't want another author's stylistic voice to penetrate too deeply into my head. It's kind of a curse. Whenever I travel, which is often, I tend to reread HPL, MR James, and some other old writer because I won't feel inhibited or threatened by their style. Great question, though!

Campbell's collection Scared Stiff is a masterpiece; his novels Hungry Moon, Parasite, and Incarnate are wonderful. His MEga collection is called Alone with the Horrors. Check em out! Edward Lee |
