McDermott is definitely more of a prose stylist than he is a story teller. I think he's more concerned with creating atmosphere and characters than he is the plot. This is one of the reasons why I think he's more literary than his contemporaries. Nothing much happens on the Dogsland books. They are slow and plodding, and almost entirely uneventful. But they're damn good.
Your list - Sounds great, especially if they offer Kindle versions. I've been out of the small press biz this year, so it'll be good to see what's up.
I'm about 1/2 through The Shining, a boy howdy is it kicking my ass. As much as I like the film - I really do - it just doesn't compare to psychological depths of character and the horror of the place found in the book. The way King gets into the heads of each of the three main characters is masterful. So glad I'm reading this again, and I'm really looking forward to Dr. Sleep.
