After over a day of extensive research I have found more Dying Earth stories. In the previous thread I asked if there were any obscure books in the genre I wasn't aware of. Here are some I found that I might like and ordered.
Read any of them?

>Cinnabar by Edward Bryant
Collection of eight stories, located in the city of Cinnabar at the center of time, involving such characters as a network sex star, a mad computer, and a hybrid catmother.

>Divine Endurance by Gwyneth Jones
(Though usually I am skeptical reading female authors I decided to give this a try.) Set in a Ruined Earth in Southeast Asia with a matriarchal society, Jones depicts the protagonist as a female Android accompanied by a Cat, weaving though a dangerous civil conflict that begins to devastate the land.

>Child of The River by Paul J. McAuley
The first of three books. The Preservers made the world called Confluence and peopled it with ten thousand extraordinary bloodlines "shaped" from beasts of every sort. Then the Preservers abandoned their creation - leaving behind their law, their bureaucracies and their trillions of machines, awake or slumbering, in the soil and the water and the air. In the Preservers' absence war came and a dangerous heresy arose that split the world in two. But a babe swept in on the great river, cradled in the arms of death, the last and, perhaps, greatest of a remarkable bloodline. And now the end times are at hand. As Yama grows to young manhood, he will make his way from necropolis to metropolis, and through the labyrinthine country of the mind in search of a past and a lost destiny. (many have said on goodread that it's very vancian/book of the new sun inspired)

>Soldiers of Paradise by Paul Park
First in a trilogy. Religion dominates every page of The Starbridge Chronicles, which is set, aeons hence, in a Dying Earth venue where history endlessly recycles, tied to the return of the generations-long seasons of a Great Year. On a distant world of cruel belief and harsh reality, Dr. Thanakar and his cousin, Mad Prince Abu, enter the city of Charn and become involved in a society of freedom, oppression, intrigue, and power.

Forgot to post what I have read. I must be missing 1 or 2 things out there.
