Contemporary author for me has to be Cormac Mccathy. 'Blood Meridian' is audacious revisionism. A hellish realism. Wish Ridley Scott would get on with making the movie.

 

[Raimi]

George R.R. Martin, Tolkien, Stephen King

Gustav Hasford is my favorite author, hands down.

Craig Clevenger and Will Christopher Baer were my introduction to neo-noir/crime fiction over a decade ago.

And authors that have really been blowing my skirt up the last handful of years are:

-Cormac McCarthy
-James Ellroy
-Benjamin Whitmer
-Aaron Michael Morales
-Jedidiah Ayres
-J David Osborne
