Oh, I have a few you might want to research Larry Send a noteboard - 13/09/2010 10:15:08 PM
I don't want to read something really crappy, like, say, Goodkind, but I'm willing to consider reading something well-written in virtually any genre.


John Crowley, The Solitudes

John Gardner, Grendel

Thomas Ligotti, Songs of a Dead Dreamer

Michal Ajvaz, The Golden Age, The Other City

Elizabeth Hand, Generation Loss

Shirley Jackson, The Haunting of Hill House

Dino Buzzati, The Tartar Steppe, Poem Strip


And I've been hearing that Reza Negarestani's Cyclonopedia: Complicity with Anonymous Materials is a mindfuck of a novel. I'm only on the first chapter, though. Promising.
Illusions fall like the husk of a fruit, one after another, and the fruit is experience. - Narrator, Sylvie
