Stephen King vs. Clive Barker

[Lustful Butchery]

Who's the true master of horror when it comes to literature?

Clive Barker is far more imaginative and well-rounded, his Great and secret show is still one of my favorite books of modern literature. Kings the Dark tower series is a masterpiece but Clive Barker is still more creative and romantic.

I been having a hard time on deciding. But yeah, Clive is alot more creative with his works. I'm going with him.

Barker is undisputedly a better writer of horror fiction, but I still don't think he tops HP Lovecraft.
