This is frankly morbid, but there was a good younger writer, Kaleb Horton, who I feel channeled the spirit of HST effectively, without the sense of direct mimicry. He died a few days ago, at a far-too-young age, but his work was excellent:

There will be plenty of others who carry the same torch, I'm sure – HST was one of a kind, though. Always the way with great writers.
