Why he might be annoying:

    He was a self-described 'troubled teenager.'
    Perhaps because during his youth, he moved around a lot.
    Many of his readers find it hard to classify his books as either fantasy or horror.
    His books always use traditional folk themes and story strands, so they're all related material.
    One of his commentators once said that 'he would have been considered a magic realist had he been born in South America and had a Spanish surname.'

Why he might not be annoying:

    He attended Rutgers University.
    He earned his Master's degree at University of Virginia.
    He won a World Fantasy Award for his short story 'Friends' Best Man.'
    He also won a Bram Stoker Award for horror literature.
    He's a teacher at the American International School in Vienna, Austria.
