I just listened to the Sonar4 Mag Talk Show podcast interview with popular zombie author Eric S. Brown...which aired live on 10/18/09, and can be played back or downloaded at:

Near the end of it Eric mentions bumping into F. Paul Wilson on Facebook, and adds that Paul's work is a major influence on him (he was talking about re-reading THE KEEP).
