The Bunnicula series was great! I am pretty sure I nearly died laughing at those books.

I mentioned John Bellairs in my response to that secret & those books were really huge for me. They just had such great atmosphere - intensely spooky and just full of this sense of age. Also books like Lloyd Alexander's Westmark trilogy (I never much cared for the Prydain stuff, but the Westmark books were great). The Westing Game. The Dark Is Rising! I mean, The Dark Is Rising books were absolutely fantastic.

So has your love of suspense/horror books as a child changed into a love of horror/suspense as an adult? Because several of the book summaries I read (I have unfortunately never read these authors) sound pretty terrifying.

Hmmmmmmmm. That's one of those tough questions, you know?

I definitely think they've influenced me. I'm not sure if they've made me a fan of horror per se. The thing is that they're definitely scary, but they're not really full-out, balls to the wall horror. It's a lot more about atmosphere and more subtle, conceptual frightening things, which is still probably my preference. Exploring these mysteries that have some kind of terrifying truth at the center of them. And I find that a lot of genre horror isn't really about that and kind of just doesn't work for me. But I absolutely love ghost stories and stuff like that, and I think you could use a lot of the same language to talk about many of my favorite writers as an adult (James Blaylock for instance is exactly that).

So there's far more words on that topic than were really warranted, haha.
