My favorite authors are Ruth Rendell, Stephen King, and Margaret Atwood - and it’s because they do such an excellent job of making the reader know exactly how the characters feel.

@SmartKat Margaret Atwood really interests me. She had this fav. place in Toronto where I actually was. Her work creeps me out though, anti feminist dystopian non viable worlds. I have a documentary on her professional life from the old BRAVO film and arts network, the long late lamented indie-film tv channel on Cable
Steven king?

and Ruth Rendell I don't know but just saw this on Goodreads: “Some say life is the thing, but I prefer reading.”
― Ruth Rendell, A Judgement in Stone
and I say YES!!!

The late Harlan Ellison.

@greenmountaingal I just looked up this thing on Harlan Ellison. (I do remember some of his work was read dramatically on wbai long ago...)
"I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream" By Harlan Ellison
Among the six SF tales in this collection is the titular, Hugo Award-winning story: “I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream.” With his usual breathtaking inventiveness, Ellison tells the story of a terrifying far-future world in which AIs have decimated the human population. But the survivors—four men and one woman—suffer a fate worse than their obliterated friends and family: relentless torture at the hands of their alien invaders.

@Platoscave Thank you. Ellison wrote hundreds of amazing and quite original stories. Another one of his famous stories:
" 'Repent, Harlequin,' Said The Ticktockman." His own favorite, and one of mine, would be, "Grail." His collected works are in most public libraries and well worth a read. Most of his work is in the form of fictional short stories, but he also wrote a considerable amount of non-fiction as well and at least one novel, Spider Kiss. He won a plethora of awards. About 10 years ago, he was nominated for the Nobel prize in literature, and, in my opinion, should have won it.
