I have been stuck in a rut reading every book Steven King, Dean Koontz, and James Patterson have ever written. I need to find an author that can be catagorized as the same style writer as these authors. Can anyone suggest a good book or author that will keep me as interested as these men do?

I've heard that H.P. Lovecraft has verry good horror books. As I did not enjoy too much Steven King (well, except for The Eyes of the Dragon), and Dean Koontz just a trifle more, and haven't dared Lovecraft yet, my info is second-hand.
A totally different author is Anne Rice, but her books can be of interest too.

Kay Hooper (none of the romance ones), John Saul, John Sandford, Lee Harris, Lisa Gardner, Diana Mott Davidson, Owl Goingback, and G.A. McKevett, just to name a few.

Check out either Richard Laymon or Graham Masterton. Both are excellent and original writers

I have also read all the books by these authors, I learned to branch out and diversify into other genres, it keeps your interests in their work for longer.
