My two favorite horror writers

I have to be honest. I can't read a lot of horror fiction because then I would never sleep. My imagination is vivid enough all on its own without adding more fuel to the fire.

But when I do read something scary it is usually by one of these two authors!

Who do you prefer?

Which is your favorite horror writer?

Stephen King

He gave me the braveness through his novels ;)

phoenix-arizona-friends says:

Stephen King, definitely.

Dean Koontz

Wednesday_Elf says:

I'm a mystery and suspense book fan, so I pick Dean Koontz, because I don't consider him a horror writer. While some of Koontz books may have been on the 'way-out-there edge, they are more suspenseful than horrific. Stephen King on the other hand, IS a horror writer and too much for me.

Christopher Snow is the best-known resident of 12,000-strong Moonlight Bay, California.
