I'd never heard of him in the print only days, and I voraciously read the genre he wrote. His complaints in other blogs about poor promotion by publishers is probably spot on for his own books. I don't begrudge him his axe to grind. Same as you, after reading some of his online posts I've since bought (or borrowed from the library) some of his books and found them quite entertaining. His newer works are darker and I'll pass on the horror stuff.
