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.

Thanks for this thread! It's a little less absurd but my immediate thought was The Library at Mount Char by Scott Hawkins. Phenomenal read.

No, thank you for the recommendation.
