Presently reading "Southern Gods" by John Hornor Jacobs which is a strange mix of H.P. Lovecraft, hard boiled crime fiction and the myth of bluesman Robert Johnson.
I'm also reading Kenneth Grant's "The Magical Revival" which is a history of Western occultism from Mr Grant's somewhat unique point of view. Lots of stuff about Austin Osman Spare here.
I've just finished "Wyrd Tales 2:A New English Heretic Library Reader". This is a mix of weird occult/sci fi fiction, hauntological tracts, and a lovely and loving piss take on 80s industrial lp covers and bands. You get a CD with it too.
