I went in with a lot of skepticism (If you don't know why, I won't tell you... he's earned that much respect from me), but he's won me over. If you like supernatural-in-modern-setting, with a darker tone to it, try him out. I'm about to start his book of short stories- having read N0S4A2, Heart Shaped Box, and the short e-story "Twittering From the Circus Of the Dead".

I've heard good things about his work. I'd love to read Horns at some point.

Interesting note: He was the kid at the beginning of Creepshow. Is that the secret you're talking about? ;)

Not specifically. I'm referring to the fact that he writes under a nom de plume and none of his book jackets or anything ever mention any famous associates. I respect that.

Yeah, I know. I was making a joke. I guess a poorly veiled one.

But yeah, I definitely want to check out his work.

Verdict: Ghosts and Horns- both excellent. Profoundly WEIRD, but excellent. Wonderful characterization, lovely language flow.
