This is not a recommendation thread, nor is it a "challenge" thread per se, but rather a sort of wishlist of books that I think might appeal to some here but instead have faded into obscurity. I will try to refrain from describing any of these, so perhaps the titles alone may capture the fancies of some:
Flann O'Brien, The Third Policeman
Charles Finney, The Circus of Dr. Lao
Ferenc Karinthy, Metropole
Stepan Chapman, The Troika
Robert Irwin, The Arabian Nightmare
George MacDonald, Lilith
William Beckford, Vathek
Arthur Machen, The Great God Pan
Clark Ashton Smith, Zothique
F. Marion Crawford, Khaled
Which one(s), if any, have you heard of before? Read? Are curious to learn more about just by their titles?
