I just read the new Nora Roberts book called Blood Brothers. It was really good. There is also a series by Christina Dodd that are kind of supernatural mysteries, two are out now and one other one comes out next year.

I think Middlesex by Eugenides is kinda "strange" book. It's exquisitely written, won the Pulitzer too a few years ago. I can't recommend it high enough. You may want to read the reviews from amazon.com or barnes and noble website to see if it piques your interest. Good luck.

If you aren't familiar with either, I would highly recommend Jorge Luis Borge and H.P. Lovecraft. The former specializes in a form of philosophical magical realism, and the later is one of the unappreciated Old Masters of horror.

If you like Sci-fi stuff, Kelley Armstrong writes some great "Women of the Underworld" stories, about vamps, witches, and the only female were in existence. Good stuff!
