I always avoided him as I thought his stuff was just more identikit badly written American horror á la Stephen King or Dean Koontz, but my mother passed me a copy of The Glory Bus and I was delighted to discover that he was in a different league of writing quality, character generation and storytelling -more like Jack Ketchum in intensity and skill.
I still have not read any more of his stuff, but will do after the pleasant surprise of The Glory Bus.
