I greatly enjoy reading Barron, but sadly I've kinda come to the end of the rope here because once I've finished Wind Began To Howl, there's no Barron left for me to read. I fell in love with his stuff when I read Old Virginia at night and literally had to close the door to the hallway because I'm a fucking superimmersed pussy when it comes to horror novels or movies.
The only book of his that I've only started but never finished was Swift To Chase, but maybe I'll give that one another chance.
A while back I was listening to some spotify podcasts on a 3hr drive and an episode of Talking Scared with the charismatic brit guy whose name I keep forgetting popped up. He interviewed Laird Barron, was a good interview between two cool people and right at the time when I was reading the Croning.
TL;DR good authors, knows his shit and creates some very memorable quotes along with his sometimes outright creepy writing. Also writes good characters and isn't afraid to try new stuff like austin-powers-esque over the top 80s spy movie cosmic adventure horror (X's for Eyes).
If you haven't read his stuff, give it a chance and get a taste from his short stories first:
For CIA spook creepy shit, try old Virginia. For well done creepy family member horror, try Tiptoe.
