Cant believe I forgot R.L.Stine. David Walliams is going to be top 10 isnt he!!
Reckon Mrs 50 Shades woman will win.
First person on the list I’ve read (Homer aside), and not fussed at all. Don’t really have an appetite for “weird” short stories.
didn’t forget Mishima
never forget Mishima
I didn’t vote for Poe but could’ve done, what a lad, true hysterical gothic nonsense, and let’s not forget he not only wrote the first modern detective story, it has the best solution of any detective story ever written.
He’s in my top five because he’s fucking incredible and I look forward to explaining why to you.
Yay! Really surprised to see him get on the list. Really hard to choose a favourite book though!
Let’s not forget about Mr Ham-in-the-freezer Dahl
I read like all of Kerouac when I was 17 then never read any again. Remember basing a lot of my university admission interview around the Dharma Bums. Christ. Should probably revisit at some point.
Doesn’t even come close (and it was lamb I believe)
Defo a ham
*lamb
Oh ffs
Ham To The Slaughter.
I am looking forward to this.
The story is literally called “Lamb to the Slaughter”
i imagine it probably doesn’t hold up at all as most folk that dislike him are past it when they first have a go
Catullus was on my long list, but dropped off fairly quick.
uni admission interview for me ‘yeah, I’ve read a bit of Nietzsche. Plato was pretty rad, huh?’
