Junji Ito’s mangas are worth a look (Gyo), Shintaro Kago, Suehiro Maruo. These are guys in japanese comics you should look into. Very grotesque horror and gore.
European: Thomas Ott. Really the only guy doing horror in europe I can whole-heartedly recommend. Also, try ‘Blacksad’, which is a anthropomorphic detective story that isn’t a Noir book.
And a novel that you should most definitely read is ‘The Physicists’ by Friedrich Dürematt. Is a classic comedy playing in a sanatorium, and has a great, great twist. So, I’d advise not to read the summary over at wiki, and just let your gut tell ya’ if you want to read it or not. Oh, I just realized you guys don’t like to get told what to do.

Sorry, and hopefully somewhat helpful…

From the yahoo!tv blog:
“One hit the network does have is ‘Vampire Diaries,’ which has been performing well and continues to build its audience.”

The horror “Golden Boy” at the moment is Brian Keene, he made zombies cool again though I enjoy his none zombie stuff like Ghoul, Castaways, and Urban Gothic. Have you tried any Tim Powers, he is the master of “secret histories” story telling.
