Love FPW, but also like Howard Phillips Lovecraft and am a great Fan of Brian Lumley.
The Necroscope of his gets off to a slow start, stick with it, it really rocks.
Is a good mix of horror/sci-fi, mostly horror though.

It will be revised, but they will be rather small revisions. Like Jack not having Ralph-the-Corvair . . . things like that.

Have you tried Robert R. McCammon? Some of my favorites by this author
include:
1) Swan Song
2) Boy's Life
3) Stinger
4) Gone South.
This author does some pretty interesting character development and can
keep your eyes glued to his books.
Another author you might try is Rex Miller. He wrote the "Chaingang"
mini-series. The titles to this series are:
1) Slob
2) Chaingang
3) Savant
4) Butcher
Unfortunately, Rex Miller died some time ago and there will be no future
books in this series unless his heirs sell rights to a ghost writer.

You can't go wrong with James Ellroy, one of the best crime fiction writers ever. Start with The Black Dahlia. After you're hooked move on to The Big Nowhere. Finish it up with L.A.Confidential. Ellroy changed his writing style for the sequel, White Jazz leaving verbs out of his prose but it's still good stuff. Each sentence is like it's fired from a machine gun.

For horror stuff, I'd recommend Rosemary's Baby (a great quick read) by Ira Levin or Ghost Story by Peter Straub. I just finished that one and it wasn't everything it's cracked up to be, but still a good read. Or, if you're into more classic stuff, I love Frankenstein. It's not for everybody though. Half the people I recommend it to get mad at me
. I also really like the Preston/Childs books. I tried those on the recommendation of other people here (Aphew and Maggers) and they're right 
. They're awesome books! Lots going on there like in the RJ books!

Half the people I recommend it to get mad at meI'm one of those that didn't like Frankenstein. I liked some of the concepts and parts of the story, but I got bored with it about ½ - ⅔ of the way through. I MUCH prefer Dracula, but I understand that isn't for everyone either.
