You can name some of them, and later on i would like there to be some discussion if possible (if people participate and we find some common names and so on 
).
So i will start:
-Kafka
-De Maupassant
-Gogol
-Lovecraft
-Borges
Of the above i spent most time on reading Kafka's work, but i am quite familiar with De Maupassant's and Borges' as well. Although i regard Gogol as one of the best writers of all time i have not really read a lot of his works (cause he has a number of novels as well). His short stories "Diary of a Madman" and "The Overcoat" are amazing, and the Diary of a Madman is perhaps the most tragically ending story i have ever read.
Other writers i like considerably:
Poe, Tanizaki, Nerval, Henry James, and of the locals i am mostly in favor of Alexander Papadiamantis, who wrote in the mid 19th century and remains the best novelist of the modern era (1821-) of this country. I am very interested in ancient Greek writers too, but have only read a few up to now :/

she hates being called a sci-fi author, but she ends up writing a lot of it anyway)
