What is the weirdest novel you have ever read? Not weird as in it sucked because it was so strange, not weird as in different for the sake of difference... but truly unusual/eerie shit that was well-written.

It's not that weird, but Something Wicked This Way Comes is remarkably eerie.

Toplin

I bought this off Amazon for a penny (+ shipping) because /lit/ recommended it in some horror thread. It's now one of my favorite books.

House Of Leaves.
If you can get past the typography and the way it's structured, it's actually really well written. By the end of it it's creepy as fuck, also.

Probably Molloy by Samuel Beckett. It's not really eerie, but it's weird in a way that made me feel all sorts of things - confused sad, amused, intrigued etc.
