10 Horror Authors To Read If You Love Stephen King (screenrant.com)

King has a vast catalog of books to choose from that could take a horror lover years to get through, yet some may be searching for other horror authors that can reproduce the same magic as King. Fortunately, there are lots of writers in the horror scene who are publishing incredible books that are just as creepy as any standard King book. On top of that, some of these authors are King collaborators, giving them an even greater connection to the horror legend. All in all, these authors are worth checking out for those readers who love being scared.

Can't speak for each author, but Richard Matheson, Shirley Jackson and Peter Straub are great suggestions.

100% agree there are some solid recommends in there. But as someone who interacts with ChatGPT a fair amount, this thing screams LLM at me loud and clear.
