DAVID NIALL WILSON (GREATEST HORROR & FANTASY FICTION)
David Niall Wilson (born 1959 in Clay County, Illinois) is an American writer primarily known for his works of horror, science fiction, and fantasy fiction.
An ordained minister in the Universal Light Church and a former president of the Horror Writer's Association, Wilson won the Bram Stoker Award for professional achievement in horror poetry.
His 1999 novel, This is My Blood (currently released as The Temptation of Blood), contains books of the fictional gospel of Judas Iscariot. This novel, which also features Mary Magdalene as a fallen angel cursed with a form of vampirism, oddly mirrors information recently translated in the coptic codex ascribed to Judas Iscariot. Both works feature Judas as being the best of the apostles—the only one to fully understand Christ's teachings and lay down his own life for the salvation of all.

Both works feature Judas as being the best of the apostles—the only one to fully understand Christ's teachings and lay down his own life for the salvation of all.

ROBERT E. HOWARD (GREATEST HORROR FICTION BOOKS)
ROBERT E. HOWARD is famously known as the creator of Conan, King Kull, Solomon Kane and other fantasy characters was also very gifted as a horror writer. He was another original Cthulhu Mythos contributor and produced many of his own original horror stories, often set in the deep south such as “Pigeons from Hell” one of the great stories dealing with voodoo and zombies.
FRANK BELKNAP LONG (GREATEST HORROR FICTION BOOKS)
FRANK BELKNAP LONG was one of the early group of writers who contributed stories to the Cthulhu Mythos and he wrote hundreds of short stories. It was a very difficult decision to leave him out and it came down to the fact that while he was undoubtedly a great horror writer, he didn’t have the scope of influence that other writers did.
ED LEE (GREATEST HORROR FICTION BOOKS)
ED LEE' s most books have been done for small press publishers but he’s certainly a talented writer.
JOHN SKIPP (GREATEST HORROR FICTION BOOKS)
JOHN SKIPP is considered as the Godfather of splatterpunk horror.
EDGAR ALLAN POE (GREATEST HORROR FICTION BOOKS)
Like a lot of great horror writers, Poe died very young and you can’t help but wonder what works he would have produced had he lived a full life. Poe’s work cannot be described as anything else but macabre. He was infatuated with death and themes of premature burial and torture. Poe’s stories read like the Hall of Fame of horror tales: The Black Cat, The Cask of Amontillado, The Fall of the House of Usher, The Masque of the Red Death, The Murders in the Rue Morgue, The Pit and the Pendulum, The Tell-Tale Heart, The Premature Burial, and Ligeia. All of these stories have been adapted for film or TV, some multiple times. Legendary horror actor, Vincent Price, made a career out of starring in roles based on Poe’s stories. Even his Poetry has been adapted to film including The Raven, The Conqueror Worm, and The Haunted Palace. As recently as the second season of Showtime’s “Masters of Horror” we saw an adaptation of The Black Cat, showing how relevant his work still is over 150 years later.
RAMSEY CAMPBELL (GREATEST HORROR FICTION BOOKS)
RAMSEY CAMPBELL has been considered by S.T. Joshi (one of the most respected historians of weird and horror fiction) as “…every bit the equal of Lovecraft or Blackwood." High praise from a man noted for being highly critical of modern horror writers. Campbell burst onto the scene in the 1960s with a volume of Lovecraft-inspired tales The Inhabitant of the Lake and Less Welcome Tenants. Campbell isequally adept at short fiction as he is with novels, perhaps even more so…Collections such as Alone with the Horrors (1993), Demons by Daylight (1973), and Told by the Dead (2003) are classic short-story collections. His 2008 novel The Grin of the Dark was one of the best horror novels of the year. Campbell has won two Stoker Awards, Nine British Fantasy Awards, and an International Horror Guild Award. I can see Campbell one day cracking the top five…he is THAT good!
M.R. JAMES (GREATEST HORROR FICTION BOOKS; GHOST STORIES OF AN ANTIQUARY)
The UK has an incredibly rich tradition when it comes to horror literature. Some of the great writers of English literature like Charles Dickens and Robert Louis Stevenson took their turn at writing horror tales. Particularly popular in the UK were themes involving ghosts and the supernatural and there is no finer writer of ghost stories than Montague Rhodes James. James was a well-respected mediaeval scholar who wrote numerous book on historical subjects but it was his ghost stories that he became famous for around the world. His most famous books are Ghost Stories of an Antiquary and More Ghost Stories. “Oh, Whistle, and I'll Come to You, My Lad” is a truly chilling story of a man who finds an ancient whistle buried in the sand of a beach, and what is summoned when the whistle is blown. “The Ash Tree” was adapted into a 1975 UK produced film. Several other James stories were adapted for British television on the BBC. When you sit down as a kid to tell ghost stories, these are the kind of stories you want to tell. They exude atmosphere and even after a hundred years they are still terrifying. Many of James’ stories are now in public domain so they can be read for free. Just Google his name.
BRIAN LUMLEY (GREATEST HORROR FICTION BOOKS)
No contemporary horror fiction author has done more to keep the spirit of Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos stories alive than Brian Lumley. His Titus Crow character has appeared in over a dozen novels and short stories. The difference with Lumley’s stories is that Crow and his allies don’t drop dead or go insane when confronted by the creatures of the Mythos. They actually strive to defeat them and so there is a far more heroic tinge to Lumley’s take on the Mythos. Lumley’s other famous creation is the long-running Necroscope series, now up to over a dozen novels. Harry Keough is the Necroscope, able to communicate with the dead and use their knowledge and abilities in battling the Wamphyri, evil, vampire-like creatures. The prolific Lumley has also had numerous collections of his short fiction published as well.
JACK KETCHUM 'DALLAS MAYR' (GREATEST HORROR FICTION BOOKS)
Jack Ketchum aka Dallas Mayr isn’t your traditional horror writer. He doesn’t write about demons, vampires, vengeful spirits, or ax-wielding maniacs…his monsters are much more mundane and terrifying because they are us, man…everyday people. His stories are among the most unsettling to read because of this. The Girl Next Door is a terrifying tale about everyday suburban kids who brutally torture the nieces of an alcoholic woman, often with her encouragement. It’s as depressing a story as I have ever read. Ketchum’s first book Off Season about a clan of cannibals preying on vacationers in rural Maine created somewhat of a stir when it was released in 1980. The original story was edited, and later pulled from shelves by the publisher because of its explicit content. An unedited version was release in 1999. Ketchum has been nominated for seven Bram Stoker awards, winning three times, including his long fiction story, Closing Time.
JOHN SAUL (GREATEST HORROR FICTION BOOKS; SUFFER THE CHILDREN; HELLFIRE; THE BLACKSTONE CHRONICLES)
SUFFER THE CHILDREN;
HELLFIRE;
THE BLACKSTONE CHRONICLES
PROFILE
John Saul is one of the finest horror writers in the classic tradition of old style supernatural fare. His subtle prose has sometimes kept him under the radar of modern horror fans, even though most of his books have made the New York Times Best Seller List. His first novel, Suffer the Children (1977) remains a potent and disturbing read. Hellfire is a quintessential New England horror about a haunted mill where children died in a tragic fire decades earlier. His serialized novel, The Blackstone Chronicles dealt with the effects than an old asylum had on the residents of a nearby town. Saul has been criticized for writing the same type of story over and over but he really is the master at what he does. These are the kinds of books you read on a dark and stormy night. Pure horror in the classic vein!

ALGERNON BLACKWOOD (GREATEST HORROR FICTION BOOKS)
Blackwood is one of the legends of early horror. This English writer was called one of the “Masters” by no less than H.P. Lovecraft. In fact, Lovecraft considered Blackwood’s tale The Willows to be the finest weird tale ever written. If you read Blackwood’s stories such as The Man Who Found Out and Ancient Sorceries would heavily influence the Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos. Long before modern day supernatural detectives came along, Blackwood created his Supernatural hunting Psychic, John Silence. The Complete John Silence stories are readily available as our many collections of Blackwood’s work. If you’ve never read Blackwood, he’s certainly worth checking out. Even though many of the stories are over one hundred years old, they are still powerful and relevant.
AMBROSE BIERCE (GREATEST HORROR FICTION BOOKS; AN OCCURRENCE AT OWL CREEK BRIDGE; THE DAMNED THING)
1. AN OCCURRENCE AT OWL CREEK BRIDGE
2. THE DAMNED THING

Bierce wrote one of the most famous horror stories of the 1800s, An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge, about a Confederate sympathizer who is about to be hanged when the rope breaks and he falls into the creek, escaping to return to his wife and children…only to find it was all an illusion as he feels a sharp pain in his neck and all goes black as he dies at the end of the rope. This story was adapted into an episode of The Twilight Zone. This story has influenced countless films and TV episodes over the years. His story An inhabitant in Carcosa would later be an influence on Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos. His story, The Damned Thing, Was recently adapted into an episode of Showtime’s “Masters of Horror”.

ROBERT McCAMMON (GREATEST HORROR FICTION BOOKS)
During the 1980s, McCammon could easily be mentioned in the same breath as Stephen King and Dean Koontz. His early novels, now out of print are classics: Baal, Bethany’s Sin, They Thirst, Swan Song, Stinger, and The Wolf’s Hour. McCammon won the Bram Stoker award for best novel three years in a row from 1989 – 1991, a feat no other writer has duplicated. But then McCammon took over a decade off from writing, some people even thought that he had passed away. He returned in 2002 with the first in his “Matthew Corbett” series of historical mysteries set in early colonial America that border the horror genre and are fantastic.
F. PAUL WILSON (GREATEST HORROR FICTION BOOKS; THE KEEP; THE TOMB; MIDNIGHT MASS)
1. THE KEEP: A 1981 classic that was adapted into a film by the same name. It tells the story of Nazi soldiers in 1941 who are being killed off within the confines of a mysterious castle in Romania. This would be the first of Wilson’s “Adversary Cycle”, a series of six books so far.
2. THE TOMB: Introduced Wilson’s popular anti-hero, Repairman Jack. The Repairman Jack novels (a dozen in all) have tied in with the Adversary Cycle works to create a lush mythos of classic supernatural and modern horror.
3. MIDNIGHT MASS: A superlative vampire novel.

1. THE WOODS ARE DARK
2. DARKNESS [1991](A fantastic supernatural story.)

GRAHAM MASTERTON (GREATEST HORROR FICTION BOOKS; CHARNEL HOUSE)
Masterton has written over 40 horror novels and dozens of short stories but he still seems to be a guy unknown to a lot of people. His first novel, The Manitou was adapted into a film in fairly major 1978, starring Tony Curtis, Burgess Meredith, and Susan Strasberg. Masterton' s gruesome Charnel House is a tale of an evil force living within an old house.
