I like Chuck Palaniuk.
Pretty much stuff that makes you think about life. Good stuff.

Based on your parameters, I'd recommend China Mieville. He's edgy, but also has a strong political and social perspective in his works. I'd also highly recommend The Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, by Michael Chabon. It'd be up your alley, and is in my top ten list of favorite novels.

Ray Bradbury is good, but some of his stuff is kind of long, very descritptive. Chuck Palahniuk is good, actually. I like F scott Fitzgerald, Poe is good, Slaughter house 5 is very good. I don't remember the author of that book randomly, though. And ernest hemmingway is really good as well!

I guess it depends - for horror, I still love Stephen King. I love Michael Connelly for crime dramas and detective stories and if you want classics, you gotta go with Dickens or Agatha Christie.

Patricia Cornwell, because you know she used to work in the area of forensics it makes it more realistic & she is very heavy & deep.
