I'm an avid reader and always have been. I always have a book with me. I lean towards spooky and odd novels (as I do in everything) but I'll read anything that sparks a gleaning of interest in my mind. I suppose, if pressed, I'd proclaim Stephen King my favorite author of all time, but I enjoy too many authors to really narrow it down. Other favorites: selective Anne Rice, H P Lovecraft, Neil Gaiman, Clive Barker, Augusten Burroughs, David Sedaris, Peter Straub, Poppy Z Brite, Robert Anton Wilson, Oscar Wilde.... If you have any suggestions of authors I might not have discovered yet, please let me know! Best books read as of late: Heart-Shaped Box (Joe Hill), King Dork (Frank Portman), Jonathan Strange and Mr Norell (Susanna Clark), and Fragile Things (Neil Gaiman)
