M.R. James and E.F. Benson, for their classic horror tales. Of contemporary writers, A.S. Byatt, J. G. Ballard and D.F. Lewis—I guess if they use two initials to begin their name, they’re okay in my book. Clive Barker, Ramsey Campbell, China Miéville, Patrick McGrath, Charles Dickens, George Orwell, Anthony Burgess.
