3. The Body Artist by Don DeLillo

The list author says:
	"Couldn't get into it initially - the story seemed to drag on and the writing seemed too objective. However, the second half blossomed both in terms of prose and plot. Quite affecting too. Sigh."

4. Voice of our Shadow (Fantasy Masterworks) by Jonathan Carroll

The list author says:
	"A fairly typical tale about the past coming back to (literally) haunt the protagonist with a very cheesey and disappointing ending. Despite these grievences it was pretty captivating stuff, spooky in"

7. In the Country of Last Things by Paul Auster

The list author says:

8. The Comfort Of Strangers by Ian McEwan

The list author says:
	"Fantastically dark and unsettling imagery abounds throughout, although the book is let down by the light-weight ending. Up there with Hubert Selby JR's 'The Demon' for most depressing book ever"

9. My Brother's Gun by Ray Loriga

The list author says:
	"A kind of 'The Outsider' for the MTV generation. I know that sounds really bad but it was quite enjoyable. Try Trocchi's 'Young Adam' for your fix of existential anti-heroes if you like them dark."

10. Amaryllis Night and Day by Russell Hoban

The list author says:
	"Ever wondered what it would be like to enter the dreams of a loved one? Me neither. Still, the notion is explored brilliantly here, and the novel is by turns comically uplifting and terminally melanc"
