David Wong is the pseudonym of Jason Pargin, former editor of the humour site Cracked.com. The lead character of his series of comedy-horror novels is also called David Wong, though the book is not (I hope) based on Pargin’s real life. David’s best friend is the John of the title, and the two of them help people out with problems relating to the supernatural. Things go south when an evil force begins breaking through reality that goes by the name of Korrok.

Thomas Ligotti is not well-known outside of the horror industry. Ironically, he’s best known for something he hasn’t written, which is the first season of True Detective. That series referenced and in some cases virtually quoted from his non-fiction philosophical work The Conspiracy Against the Human Race. However, his work has been in print since the mid-80s, and his oeuvre consists mostly of short stories.
