Francisco Ponce palmero | 107 comments I mean I'm from Spain and althought I have read some authors in English, Laird Barron, Karl Edward Wagner or Joe R Lansdale I still feel lost sometimes during the reading, specially when I read a word I don't know or a structure I don't understand, it's really frustrating... so, can you suggest me a good horror author but with and easy to read style?

thanks in advance

Hey, Francisco. You ever read Richard Laymon? He's very accessible and a master of pacing. If you haven't checked him out, I think you'd really enjoy his stuff.

Some of his novels are translated to Spanish, I was thinking of reading Island in English.

Jonathan Janz it sounds familiar to me ; by the way I must read your article about T.E.D. Klein's Petey

Robert Mingee (robertmingee) | 776 comments Definitely agree with Jonathan about Richard Laymon, that's the first name to pop in my head as well. I also think Brian Keene's work reads easily, as well as Ray Garton.

Francisco Ponce palmero | 107 comments But the thing is that all his books have been translated to Spanish, very bad translated by the way, a friend who read the originals said to me that in the translation to Spanish you lost the 60% of the horror effect

Bill (shiftyj1) | 4891 comments William Meikle, Edward Lorn, Adam Cesare, and Ania Ahlborn come to mind as particularly good with easy to read smooth styles.
