Re: RARA-AVIS: THE WEIRD ONES...

Among recent books, I'd certainly place all of Jack O'Connell's great books (Box Nine, Wireless, Skin Palace and Word Made Flesh) into this field, along with Adam Lloyd Baker's not great, but still good New York Graphic which seems to follow in O'Connell's wake.

Will Christopher Baer's Kiss Me, Judas is told from an untrustworthy, halucinatory viewpoint.

John Shannon includes lots of strange LA sightings around the periphery of his characters and plots..

Finally, several of the new Brit writers dip into this area, including Nicholas Blincoe and some of Ken Bruen.
