LANSDALE LANSDALE LANSDALE! It is my mission to get you into some Lansdale. Lansdale's Rumble Tumble just arrived in the post. kindletoflame...Lansdale ain't horror...be warned... Lansdale can do horror too. That's my favorite thing about him, he can do it all. Get Nightrunners, you'll see him do horror.

If you don't like gore you might want to skip Edward Lee and Wrath James White. From your earlier post, I think you would LOVE Tom Piccirilli.

Ed Lee and Wrath James White. This. And add some Steve Gerlach and Jack Ketchum. I would also say to throw in a little Richard Laymon.

John Connolly is absolutely brilliant.

John Connolly is absolutely brilliant. After reading Nocturnes, and specifically "The New Daughter" and the Charlie Parker novella, I'm a convert!!

Richard Laymon is an author I forgot to mention. I've read him. I think I like his later work more, the stuff that's more about the setting/atmosphere than the plot. Like The Traveling Vampire Show and Night In the Lonesome October. Those I can dig. I don't care for his more violent stuff.
Thanks for the help, everybody. I'll have to check out Lansdale; with such an enthusiastic endorsement, how could I not? Even if it's not horror, I'll settle for creepy or even dark.
I'll check out Connolly, too.

[/quot Have you read Funland by Laymon? I read it twice. Loved it! Jason.

I wondered upon Laymon in the used bookstore, several years before I even knew what a msg board was, one of the best things that ever happened to me.

You MUST read Jonathan Maberry's Patient Zero.

I second that, Patient Zero by Jonathan Maberry was my pick for best book in 2009 and I also enjoyed his Pine Deep Trilogy. John R. Little's The Memory Tree, Placeholders, The Grey Zone and Miranda are excellent reads.
