My tastes vary. I enjoy horror in the vein of Lovecraft, Ashton Smith, Matheson, Doyle. I love Batman comic books and DC in general. I am a huge fan of early Steven King, H.G. Wells, P.K. Dick, and Ray Bradbury.
When I am brain locked for a story I have this gem of a book I found at a second hand shop ages ago that has fifty ghost stories by obscure and classic horror writers. I also get into phases where I need a good Tom Clancy novel or Mack Bolan series.
