Dez Nemec | 55 comments Both Bentley Little and Richard Laymon are good ones. Recently found Hunter Shea and while he is really horror humor, I really enjoy Jeff Strand.

Also send Char's Joe Hill.

That's a great suggestion! Also, HA has a bookshelf which contains all the books we've ever read. Just click on the "Bookshelf" link, up there on the top right, just under "Group Home."

C.J. Rutherford | 13 comments Check out Joe DeRouen
