A good summary. I'm not really a big fan of horror, so some of his books don't appeal to me anyway, however I enjoyed Boy's Life, Swan Song and The Wolf's Hour - but they definitely fit the "long slower reads" description.

I recently found McCammon's Blue World collection in ebook which I bought mainly for the last two stories - the first 11 are standard-fare horror shorts. Something Passed By is so memorably peculiar that I really like it, while the eponymous Blue World novella turns out to be ugly but good.
