This book starts out pretty simply, with a man looking for his wife's missing cat. Then the man's wife goes missing. As his search continues, he meets one fascinating character after another, and gets dragged into the surreal netherworld of Tokyo. It's a page-turning mystery story that's also a beautifully written surreal novel. If you're looking for a fresh read, this is it.

The is one of the craziest and best books I've ever read. It's about a manuscript found by a tattoo artist that was written by a blind man about a documentary that never existed about a house that's bigger on the inside than on the outside. Much bigger, it turns out. A lot of the suspense hinges on basic stuff like the fear of the dark, but you'll be surprised how potent that imagery can be in the right hands.
