Early Don Delillo is kind of Ballardian (End Zone, Players), so is some of the later stuff (Cosmopolis, Zero K). Brett Easton Ellis might work for you. You might like Camp Concentration and 334 by Thomas M Disch. Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata is kind of like Japanese Ballard.

Will Self's early stuff is kind of like Ballard with jokes.

I found this in a church thrift store. It was 25 cents and the cover had a big swastika on it so I bought it. Read about it on wikipedia/amazon and it sounds pretty weird.
