The Raw Shark Texts

Earlier today I finished reading The Raw Shark Texts by Steven Hall - a surreal romp of an adventure that sits somewhere between the bizarre oddities of Clive Barker or China Meiville (sans the grotesque creatures, although the Ludovician shark comes close) and Chuck Palahniuk or David Lynch's mindfucks. The reviews on Amazon sum things up a lot better than I could so go read them - or just buy the book and read it. Best book I've read in ages...
