I've got some good sources for bibliographies for science fiction and fantasy authors - but I wish to include horror authors in my final list, and thus chase down their bibliographies.

I'd therefore like to compile a comprehensive list of horror authors, so that I can chase down their bibliographies for my final awe-inspiring collection. :)

I'll start:

Clive Barker
HP Lovecraft
August Derleth
Arthur Machen
Brian Lumley
Edger Allan Poe
Anne Rice



Others, please?
 
John Shirley
Mark Laidlaw
Thomas Liggotti
William Hope Hodgson
 
With help from others I compiled a list of important writers of classic horror on GoodReads (in brackets is a recommended book by the author). No doubt there are omissions but hopefully you might find it helpful.
