Shawn, brother, please, I beg of you, take no disrespect, but, please don't compare William Burroughs to Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. I know that you will understand what I mean, bro.

I adore Edgar Allen Poe and see very little of his style of writing or influence. If you've got the time to talk I'd love to know what's your favorite Poe story and why?

You know, Godfather does not mean Father. It denotes a side influence that has become so strong that it is undeniable. Like, is Iggy Pop the Godfather of punk? For instance.

So, I say, at some point soon, we hold a vote. Who thinks William Burroughs, as an icon of short, disturbing literature (not stories because, let's face it, this strange form of horror genre has elevated itself to literature) should be the Godfather of creepypasta. If not, than whom? Sound good?
