Too numerous to enumerate, or even fit on all my shelves. For starters: W.B. Yeats, H.P. Lovecraft, Alasdair Gray, Flannery O'Connor, Oscar Wilde, David Sedaris, Vicente Huidobro, Thomas Chatterton, Annie Dillard, Michel Foucault, Miguel Unamuno, Aleister Crowley, Federico García Lorca, John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, Charles Williams, Dylan Thomas, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Pablo Neruda, Luis Cernuda, M.L.R. James, Julio Cortazar, Thomas Wyatt, Henry Vaughan, Roger Zelazny, Jean Genet, Charles Dickens, Andre Gide, William Shakespeare, Mark Twain, Geoffrey Chaucer, Robert Bloch, Percy Bysshe Shelley, William Blake. I know those are authors and poets, not books, but that saves a lot of time.

I am your average all-American homosexual occultist ex-acidhead pornographer. No, really. However, by day I assume a mild-mannered guise to work as a managing editor at a publishing company.
