    Codex Seraphinianus, I am possibly one of the very few to have read it and even fewer to have actually finished it. It inspired an awesome online handle of mine for years. If you say you have read it I know you are lying...probably....

    It's weird......

    It's not like you will find it tonight though???? Very visual.

    Anything by Harlan Ellison...particularly I have no mouth and I must scream.

    The world needs people like him.

    Brilliant writer not just weird but real substance there. ANYTHING by him.

    The Enigma Of Amigara Fault, by Junji Ito

    It's read from right to left, so might take a little getting used to at first, click the image to go to the next page.

    Enjoy! ;)

    There is a 2013 edition. Check out the Voynich manuscript.

    I have been poeticseraphim, the seraphinian , Lady Seraphin all inspired by this book. Serafini said once the writing was asemic. That resonated with me.

    He wanted readers to feel as children do when seeing books for the first time. He wanted to bypass people's intelligence. You grow another type of intelligence. It seemed so organic to me. Two people having sex gradually morphing into a crocodile. Perfect. Shakespeare called sex the beast with two backs.

    You should Wikipedia or Google some of the following:

    The Dyatlov Pass incident

    Tamam Shud

    Wow! Signal

    Hinterkaifeck

    Elisa Lam

    The last one has some particularly creepy videos on YouTube.

    Tamam Shud is one of those mysteries that made me feel really genuinely creeped out. And now I've creeped myself out thinking about it. Why do I always gravitate to scary things at night time!?

    Wow! Neverf become attached to a hole because of loneliness that will only torture you and stretch you to it's own shape as the hole becomes gaping and wider. It only calls out because it's so empty!

    Yeah, Junji Ito is a weird one alright, gets under your skin in a big way. Amazing artist but utter nightmare fuel. I watched a movie based on one of his stories years ago and I just... :o

    But hey, OP wanted something weird, here's an entire shipment of weird! Thanks for the nightmares Junji! ;)

    The past week I've been falling asleep to Jeremy Irons reading me a different chapter of Nabokov's Lolita each night.

    That's been.. weird I suppose.

    The Dark Tower series by Stephen King. Not only is it a great series of books with a fascinating story and relatable characters but it is by far the weirdest piece of fiction I've personally read. I don't even like Stephen King books that much but I can't recommend this series enough. And if it's weird you're looking for The Dark Tower just gets weirder and weirder, as well as better..

    Well worth reading

    I got it mixed up with Donoghue v Stephenson in my head, and started wondering why the hell anybody would write a book about a snail in a lemonade bottle!
