Righteo. Have picked up a copy of Perdido Street Station. My crappy local bookshop had none of the others in stock, and gave me quizzical and condescending looks as I reeled off book after book that they had never heard of, which vexed me more than a little! Now that the World Cup is over for...

Oh don't worry. I've played Fallout. I remember when it came out yonks ago. One of the first games I played. Quarantine sounds very interesting. But then so does everything that has been recommended so far. This could get expensive. Oh well, that's where eBay comes into play I guess.

Cheers, Brys. I'll read more into some of the author's you mentioned. It's interesting that you mentioned fantasy novels, though. Fantasy was, and still is to a certain extent, my genre of choice, I just feel like branching out at the moment. I own roughly 180 fantasy novels read about 160 of...

Ok. This is kind of obscure (maybe) but I've read A Scanner Darkly a fair while back and was quite interested with the idea of a "grotty" version of the future as opposed to gleaming cities of spires with hover cars and inter-dimensional space travel etc etc etc. This is kind of hard to explain...

I read a crap-ton of those books through school. It always seemed to me to be the best incarnation of a fantasy world - it just captured everything I would want in a fantasy world. Anyways here's some recomendations: - R.A. Salvatore, Ed Greenwood and Elaine Cunningham go without saying...

Cheers for the "Maldoror" point. I tried looking for the book on Amazon but they didn't think it necessary to include a synopsis for the novel. Cheers Amazon! So what's it about? The cover looked dark so I've got high hopes. (Didn't sombody once say something about judging a book by it's cover...?)

Um...yeh...what the title said. ;)

It's weird. It's a really specific style I'ma fter that I can't quite put into words. I suppose it would fall under the canopy of "horror" but not your stereotypical kind. ARGHH IT'S FRUSTRATING!!! :mad: The following link is a link into Clive Barkers Tortured Souls site. It sums up better...

Thats good. More dark tho!!

Howdy all. 1st post so be nice! :D Basically I've always had an interest in disturbing, some might say "freaky" things. I'm aware of how rubbish that description is so I'll give example. Things such as the concept for the Hellraiser films (shame the films were a tad naff!), the imagery for...
