The great Roald Dahl should not be missed by anyone, fantastic writer and not just for children.
Dahl's short stories are known for their unexpected endings and his children's books for their unsentimental, often very dark humour. His works include James and the Giant Peach, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, The Witches, Fantastic Mr Fox, The Twits, George's Marvellous Medicine and The BFG.

John Kennedy Toole (December 17, 1937 – March 26, 1969). Something really funny, sadly the author´s history is not so funny...he suicided because nobody published her book. When I read the book in the underground the people look to me like a mad because I had a big big big smile...page by page. Enjoy:

His drama unfolds in the tragic and sensual environment Orsini Palace and the famous forest of monsters Bomarzo, near the city of Viterbo. The numerous historical figures, evoked by the confessions of the Duke, make a fresh Italian Renaissance careful. (Sorry, google translator). He was a good friend to Borges, and they have great influence each to other (it´s from mine, sorry again

Hi Tarl, maybe you can try with King Rat by China Miéville, it's similar to Neverwhere. You can try also with authors like Jonathan Carroll and Christopher Moore.
