Are there any Fantasy/Sci-fi authors (currently living) who can write like the spec masters of yore?

Lord Dunsany, HG Wells, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Lovecraft, Peake, Robert E. Howard, Tolkien, Bester, Walter M. Miller Jr., etc.

Pic not related.

Harlan Ellison.

Also Adrian Tchaikovsky is not bad. I enjoyed Children of Time.

I'm not too versed on classic spec fiction. Does Neil Gaiman count?
