There are several that I like, but I'm not going to name them all. I'll just say my second favorite is probably Dean Koontz. Although, unlike with Sai King's books....I don't have nor have I read all of Mr. Koontz's books.

I've really been digging Joe R Lansdale lately- guy can write everything from zombie stories to historic novels. Also like Dennis Lehane, John Connelly, Neil Gaiman(American Gods, and his short stories) Joyce Carol Oates, China Mieville(Perdido street station and the Scar). I've also liked Joe Hill's two novels. I was afraid he would be a mini me of SK, but he's not. Totally different. Sure there is some influence, but what modern day horror writer HASN'T been influenced by SK in some fashion?

I love Cormac McCarty, David Foster Wallace, Nick Hornby, Josè Saramago (I miss you, Josè) and an Italian group of writers who was called Luther Blisset and now it is known as Wu Ming. They wrote together a wonderful book called "Q" and one of them (Wu Ming 1) is the italian traslator of 22\11\63
