I have a decent library filled with authors like Palahniuk, Ryu and Haruki Murakami, Vonnegut, P. K. Dick, and Thompson.

I'm looking for more modern/contemporary authors who share that absurdism, surrealism, and just plain weirdness.

A Short Stay in Hell by Steven Peck.

It’s short, it’s brilliantly weird, and I’ve never felt so viscerally forced to stare eternity in the face.

Oops, wrong God. I'm adding this one to my list. Thank you.
