Definitely check out Joe R. Lansdale, I believe he’s got lots of Western stuff but the only one I can instantly remember and vouch for is his Jonah Hex comic book mini-series.

I've somehow ended up skipping Straub as well – however, it seems that a lot of horror authors have been praising his stuff in podcasts I've listened to recently. Can't name any specific author or episode but I do remember thinking that maybe I should check him out after all.

gey muckle mowser posted:Just curious, what podcasts? I'm always looking for new ones to check out. Probably either the aforementioned Horror Show or then This Is Horror. From what I’ve listened, The Horror Show is a lot more acerbic and insider-y while This Is Horror has more of a fanboy feel. But while Keene appears to be quite a divisive figure, he is also more entertaining than the TIH guys, who can be a bit fawning.

Is this cover... intentional?

That reminds me, Laird Barron was on the This Is Horror podcast a good while ago now and True Detective was brought up – apparently Nic Pizzolatto had corresponded with him quite a bit before the first season, and while he wouldn't go to details, the impression I got was that he wasn't super happy about Pizzolatto essentially ripping him off for all the "time is a flat circle" stuff. As I recall it, there was also a good bit of Ligotti and some Alan Moore in the show, but Barron was a definite influence.

Yeah the Ligotti stuff is definitely at the forefront (which I should have made more clear), but there's certainly some Barron in there – and he never really made any direct accusations, there was just a feeling that he wasn't 100% happy about the amount of credit he got after actively corresponding with Pizzolatto as a fellow writer.
