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.

Just finished John Scalzi's The Moon Hits Your Eye, and quite liked it.

Others I've loved include:

Air by Geoff Ryman

The Seep by Chana Porter

How High We Go in the Dark by Sequoia Nagamatsu

Brown Girl in the Ring by Nalo Hopkinson

Creatures of Passage by Morowa Yejide

Hollow Kingdom by Kira Jane Buxton
