Favorite Authors That Aren't Stephen King
I'm looking for suggestions on authors to explore.
I became obsessed with King's works at a young age, so I spent most of my life consuming everything written by him, which kept me from venturing off into other authors' works. Now that I'm pretty much caught up on King's works, I'm constantly looking for that "new" author whose writing and storytelling completely sucks me in. I've come across a few over the past few years, such as Gareth Powell, Maggie O'Farrell, Blake Crouch (although I've yet to read anything other than the Pines series by him), and Piers Anthony.
There are plenty of collection and/or discussion threads on the sites devoted to specific authors, but I don't know where to start.
So, give me suggestions! Tell me what authors you love an what kind of stories they tell. :)
Favorite Authors That Aren't Stephen King
John R Little is one of my favorite authors and I don't see him mentioned often. He mostly writes short stories and novellas in the horror and dark fantasy genre.
If you're looking for short stories I recommend Little Things. Most of the stories in it are amazing, but Cruel Eyes and Placeholders were my favorites.
If you're looking for a novella I recommend The Memory Tree.
