I thought it would be interesting to hear who are some of your favorite writers of speculative fiction, which can include fantasy, science-fiction, and horror. Of course, other genres might be included.
For me, I think my favorites are
Stephen King
Among his novels are The Stand, The Shining, and Hearts In Atlantis.
