Mark L'estrange
By reading horror stories from the likes of Guy N. Smith, James Herbert and later on Richard Laymon.
I have read many examples from those considered as the classic writers in the genre, authors such as Bram Stoker, Mary Shelley, Robert Louis Stevenson, Edgar Allen Poe and of course MR James, but I must confess that I have always found it tough following the style of literary fiction written in the 19th and early 20th century.
