The Other Side of the Mountain by Michel Bernanos.
Pretty damn cool and somewhat obscure weird fiction from the sixties. It's also quite short so give it a try. Part one is pretty normal yet interesting but part two cranks up the weirdness.

Great opening sentence: "The suburbs dream of violence."

At a local Satanist luncheon hosted at the national headquarters of The Center For Inquiry this weekend, I was approached by a fellow CFI member who said he'd picked up something for me that he hoped I'd enjoy based on the wardrobe I've routinely sported at other local events.

He gifted me The Art of Steampunk by Art Donovan - the fellow who curated the now legendary Steampunk exhibit at the Museum of the History of Science at Oxford University.

It was a thoughtful and unexpected gift and I enjoyed it very much.

Blood Meridian. I second the Bataille as well.

"The Song of Ice and Fire"

I watched the series a couple of times, and last month I thought it's time I read the books it's based on.

I'm in the middle of "A Clash of Kings" now
