Stephen King said that 'Carrion Comfort' was 1 of the 3 greatest novels of the 20th..

Once again, an awesome recommendation coming from the SKMB leads me to another great author. I just read his first, and started his second. This guy is on a level with McCammon and King, IMO. Thanks to everyone.

Yesterday, we took a trip to Spokane, and I acquired a copy of Carrion Comfort. Needless to say, I am very much looking forward to this one!

Wow, I just realized that I'd forgotten about this particular thread.
Well, I finally finished Carrion Comfort about a week or two ago.
It's hard to imagine this book being much better, let's put it that way..

Simmons is a fantastic writer and very intelligent too. Highly recommend his Hyperion series. The Shrike is one of the greatest fictional characters ever created. Note this is a SF series and not horror.

I have also heard great things about Simmons' Hyperion series.
I'm not sure if it's true, but he apparently wrote the the entire series as a single project, so to speak, and only later divided the story into said novels.
