Lastly, if you dare, try to tackle Mark Danielewski's mondo bizarro horror novel *House of Leaves* The prose is EXTREMELY dense. At times, it's like trying to tunnel through granite with a popsicle stick. But believe me, I regretted not a minute I spent reading it. If you can get through the first twenty pages without defenestrating the damn thing, it's a hell of a wild ride.

thanks for the recommendation. I really like 'dense' prose & too much horror & scifi these days is pulp trash. Not that pulp is bad, or didnt used to be - I love H.P. Lovecraft.
