On topic, the short stories of Robert Aickman and Mark Samuels. I also enjoy Quentin S. Crisp, Mark Valentine, and Michael Cisco, but these straddle the blurry border of horror and "weird" fiction.

Anyone connecting epistemology and ontology to inquiry needs a lesson in redundancy, and a further lesson in pretentiousness. Your use of broad, meaningless words taken from a community college English class syllabus, were correctly pointed out by the previous poster as buzzwords. Which is already too much of a compliment, since your sparse understanding of Conrad clearly comes from a high school AP Lit class.

i had to read it in high school when i was 15. i didn't like it then, it seemed very obvious and ham handed in its message. it's bloody obvious he was trying to show the kids the powers of facism and if these kids couldn't see through it then fuck them. i didn't want to waste my time hearing about their fucking problems of pretend games. to be honest i thought it was one of the very worst books i've ever read, just down to the fact that it was like reading a cliche horror movie: anyone with a brain can point out the obvious poor moves that the characters make and it becomes nearly infuriating.

maybe it's because i had already read animal farm and 1984 twice by then.
