Poetic language, Patrick Rothfuss. 

Comedy, Terry Pratchett and David Wong, with Neal Stephenson at his best in Snow Crash.

Character dialogue and fighting scenes, Joe Abercrombie. 

Neil Gaiman and Joe Hill have been pretty huge influences when I'm describing something "scary".

Oh and writing with Leidenschaft along with Poohead and Peik are definitely why I can even write at all. My writing was godawful before that.

Honorable Mentions: Chris Avellone, whatever god of chaos wrote Disco Elysium (I SUSPECT my writing is going to be heavily influenced by them), Douglas Addams, Welcome to Nightvales various writers, The Magnus Archives main writer Jonathan Sims.
