H.P. Lovecraft and Stephen King are both fantastic writers that easily make their way into my list of favorites. I enjoyed reading this list here, as listening to the opinions of others as well as their point of view is always an enlightening and fun thing to do.

One thing though... Where is Edgar Allan Poe? The man was an absolute genuis, and one of the writer's that has personally inspired myself to no end. With poems such as The Raven and The Bells, and short horror stories such as The Masque of Red Death and The Cask of Amontillado, Poe has proven himself a master of horror fiction again and again. If you have not already, I strongly encourage you to take a look at some of his works.
