Horror Aficionados : Underrated Authors 18 40 2 hours, 32 min ago  
Clive Barker
“[Horror fiction] shows us that the control we believe we have is purely illusory, and that every moment we teeter on chaos and oblivion.”
Clive Barker

Stephen King
“Running a close second [as a writing lesson] was the realization that stopping a piece of work just because it's hard, either emotionally or imaginatively, is a bad idea. Sometimes you have to go on when you don't feel like it, and sometimes you're doing good work when it feels like all you're managing is to shovel shit from a sitting position.”
Stephen King

Robert Bloch
“So I had this problem -- work or starve. So I thought I'd combine the two and decided to become a writer.”
Robert Bloch
