Hey Jeff, Richard Laymon is my favourite author and ai never thought anyone would replace him but you are now my favourite along with Laymon. Do you like Richard Laymons work? and also who is your current favourite author? I say current as things can change.

Hi, Ashley! I've been a Laymon fan since the late '80s! His books were really hard to find back then, so I'd check used bookstores on a regular basis. In 1990, a friend in college told me that Laymon was WAY more prolific than I'd thought--he had a bunch of novels that were only published in the UK. The very first thing I ever bought online was a stack of about a dozen Headline UK editions of Laymon books (plus a couple of Jack Ketchum novels), and I just read 'em all, back to back. I never did get to meet him, though I'm friends with his daughter and wife.
My current favorite is David Wong.

Hi Jeff. I'm in love with 'Everything Has Teeth'. Who couldn't be? But, alas!, I'm almost through. I have, of course, ordered 'Gleefully Macabre Tales' and 'Dead Clown Barbecue', but allow me to ask nevertheless: will there be a new short story collection anytime soon? Greetings from Germany.
