Is Blake Butler on anyone's radar? He is contemporary and further on the experimental arm of literary horror but he is doing some really interesting stuff. His last novel was '300000000' (three hundred million).

Heh, I'm ashamed to say that I ever even heard of him until now (or I did, and then forgot about him). Scorch Atlas sounds sweet alright, like the sort of surrealist horror that I could enjoy.

Why ashamed?
He seems to have relatively sizeable following, going by his goodreads pages. I am familiar with a crapload of horror/weird fiction authors whose works amass sometimes less than a dozen ratings per release on GR, so I am kinda embarrassed to be completely unaware of someone like this. Especially since, as I've said, it sounds like he writes the sort of fiction that I could enjoy.
If you follow Jordan West You won’t miss anything literary horror. He read and rated this book several years ago.

Jordan is also in this group, but I don't remember seeing him post.
