Genuine question here. I feel like Jordan's main demographic he's trying to appeal to is naive, fragile semi-conservative teen guys. While what he says isn't groundbreaking by any means, a good amount of what he says is true. Am I right is saying that? I'm not the smartest of people but I'm trying to develop an intellect and critical mind of my own so that I can form my own opinion independently. What do you all genuinely think of him?

Both are great. Shadow out of Time and Thing on the Doorstep are among my favorite ones too.

I am also pretty familiar with Thomas Ligotti like >>12139035 and can recommend him.

If you're willing to get dirty, I can recommend the Throne of Bones by Brian McNaughton. There's a lot of black humor, bitter irony, and necrophilia in it. Very well written.

I've heard good things about Dark Gods
by T.E.D. Klein, but haven't read it yet.

I'm sure that there are others that I can't quite recall right now, since I've read a lot of great horror stories; obviously Edgar Allan Poe and Clark Ashton Smith come to mind.
