David Searcy's books (Last Things and Ordinary Horror) are the only horror I've read that did not either bore or annoy me, which is distressing because I love horror and I love books and it seems like they should mix well but most of the time they just don't. Unless you want to count Thomas Bernhard's stuff as horror I guess, I love the hell out of Bernhard. Actually I guess Brian Evenson's A Collapse of Horses was mostly okay too, but still sort of underwhelming. I'm gonna read the Books of Blood eventually but the Barker I've read so far (The Scarlet Gospels) was so embarrassingly bad that it's hard to psych myself up to get started. I'm not expecting miracles here but if any of you happen to know more stuff along the lines of Searcy I'd appreciate ideas, I guess. Or if you can somehow identify the exact opposite of The Scarlet Gospels.
