Ive been reading some of Clark Ashton Smiths stories. He wrote some good hard-core fantasy, especially his Zothique stories.

Yay I'm glad another person has discovered "The Wasp Factory"-you may also like "Complicity" which is also pretty warped.

Plus JG Ballard's original novel that Cronenberg adapted of "Crash" goes more in depth.

Just finished The Wasp Factory, and I must say it's the best book I've ever read (besides The Catcher in the Rye, and Naked Lunch maybe). Loved everything about it, amazing stuff.

And yeah I've read Crash, which is another one of my favourite novels.

Yeah, man. Judging from your taste you'd probably love it. Complicity sounds interesting, I'll definitely keep my eyes open for it next time I go to get a haul of books.

Oops only just saw this. I strongly recommend you check out The Fog next or maybe Sepulchre.
