I also enjoy King, Koontz, and also Clive Barker.
I don't read for the specific purpose of other writers inspiring my writing. I read because I enjoy reading. I do, however, think we are naturally influenced by everything, whether we realize it or not.
Inspiration (the Muse) comes to me generously. And I do not think it is generated solely by the self. I think it is universal and I simply tap into it.
