Grady Hendrix gets me EVERY TIME. There's a point about a quarter into all his books where I'm so bored, or fed up with the MC, or irritated about the plot, etc. that I'm ready to just walk away. Then there's a piece of writing that is so well done and enthralling that you couldn't put the book down if you tried. There are actually a couple of these moments in Horrorstör that just suck you in and make the actual plot of the book take a backseat for a while.
