These dentures won't stop me from tearing out jugulars in Thunderdome.



"Game" by Donald Barthelme (you can read it here for free: http://www.latexnet.org/~burnt/Game.html) - pretty much anything Barthelme writes is awesome. His stuff tends to be very unconventional in terms of structure and style.

"Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?" by Joyce Carol Oates - She might have already read this one, but it's a great piece of fiction with a sense of creeping dread that is way more effective than most outright horror fiction.

Also, check out short story collections by Amelia Gray, Karen Russel ("Reeling for the Empire" and "The Graveless Doll of Eric Mutis" are two stories in particular that get into some weird literary horror), and Julia Elliot.

And seconding Saunders, his stuff is consistently great.

edit: Almost forgot, "Revenge," by Yoko Ogawa is another neat collection with a bunch of really dark, interwoven stories that get pretty surreal at times.
