The 70-year-old Newport Coast writer is the perfect example of the kind of popular author who sells a few books (a measly 450 million copies), is adored by fans, critically acclaimed, and still gets a glance askance because of the genre he writes in: horror fiction. We say, fuck the haters. If adoring a multiple New York Times best-selling author (in hardcover and paperback), confirmed dog-lover, creator of the Odd Thomas series and—to all accounts—nice guy is wrong . . . we don't want to be right.
