Now and again I read a review of one of my stories where the reviewer remarks that I obviously read such and such a story or was influenced by such and such a writer. I guess they want to seem knowledgeable. The irony is that although it’s true, like any creative type, I am influenced by other writers and their work, the ones I see listed as my influences are rarely the books or writers I have actually read. No one seems to have thought to ask me who my real influences are. Still, I do now have a nice list of things I should get around to reading. H. P. Lovecraft seems to be one that comes up most often. Never read him. I’ll let you know when I do.
