You may not make it through -- it is one of the most horrifying books I've ever read, only outdone by the subsequent volumes (I actually haven't been able to finish the third one because the second one freaked me out so much I just start to shudder when I listen to that voice again). His view of a society that can create utterly realistic artificial people is chilling and makes you want to go wash yourself.But back on topic, New Weird. What else fits?I don't think Steven Erikson does, though he seems to tread close...</blockquote>
