I wouldn't worry too much about some of the authors on your list. Unless you happen to have it on good authority that horror writers can come back from the dead. ;)
Do you know, I never did think about getting revenge on the bullies in school. For a long time I wondered what was wrong with me, that would make them hate me so much. I still haven't found an answer to that question, but I suspect that it wasn't really about me.
I did take a couple of self-defense classes, and that helped me to get away from them. Until the day I knocked down a very large bully (using his own momentum), then his buddies grabbed my arms and pinned me down so he could hit me properly.
It honestly never occurred to me that I could get "revenge" on any of these people. I just counted the days on my calendar until school was over, and then never looked back. *shrug* To each her own, I guess.
