Hey have you read "the house of the Scorpion" by Nancy Farmer its really interesting book hear read the back.
"Matteo Alacran was not born; he was harvested. His DNA came from El Patron, lord of a country called Opium--a strip of poppy fields lying between the united states and what was once called Mexico. Matt's first cell split and divided inside a petri dish. Then he was placed in the womb of a cow, where he continued the miraculous journey from embryo to fetus to baby. He is a boy now, but most consider him a monster-- escept for El Patron. El Patron loves Matt as he loves himself, because Matt is himself.
As Matt struggles to understand his existence, he is threatened by a sinister cast of characters, including El Patron's power-hungry family, and he is surrounded by a dangerous army of bodyguards. Escape is the only chance Matt has to survive. But escape from the Alacran Estate is no guarantee of freedom, Matt is marked by his difference in ways he doesn't even suspect"
also the author is a three time Newbery Honor

Tim Powers at his best.
Try "Last Call"
About a man who lost his body and soul in a card game, and the debt's just coming due.
or "The Anubis Gates": A time travel/horror/gothic/literary mystery/romance.
Or strange and light?
Spider Robinson's tales that centre round Callahan's saloon:
"Callahan's crosstime saloon"
"Time Travellers strictly cash" etc.
Fun, but not fluffy and empty.

oh. I love strange storys (if by strange you mean strange things that have happen, and there is no explanation to it..). I will surely come back here and see if there will be any links posted.

Lovecraft is about as strange as you can get. So is EA Poe and Nathaniel Hawthorne.
Also try Kafka
And Shirley Jackson...

The Metamorphoses by Kafka. It doesn't get any stranger than that.
