12. Patrick McGrath, Dr Haggard's Disease
    Fascinating, an irresistible purchase since it had Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog on the cover (to match my copy of Frankenstein). McGrath's been on the author to be read list for a good while. Why did I wait? This was fascinating, both for period detail-- it's set in England just prior to and into the early years of WWII--and the obsessive first-person narrator. Creepy, too. Muted gothic.
