Is there a list or thread somewhere here discussing writers and/or fiction works that King himself likes or has recommended (in interviews, his own non-fiction pieces, or through his characters)?
If not, let's start one here.
A couple I can think of are HP Lovecraft and Shirley Jackson.
I noticed he mentioned Shirley Jackson in both 11/22/63 ("The Summer People") and The Stand ("The Daemon Lover"), so I figure either he likes her or she influenced him in some way.
