Some Ellroy stuff is great, in my opinion, and some of of the later material verges on being literally unreadable.
I went to a steampunk event, and started re-reading James P Blaylock's Homunculus, which I like very much (even though he says 'blocks' when referring to London streets!). I've also read a really weird Osprey book called Cthulhu: Ancient Rome by Mark Latham. It's a sort of fake history book about the influence of Lovecraft's gods on the Roman Empire. It's rather short, but very well-executed, and the illustrations are superb.
I'm bracing myself to read Hangover Square by Patrick Hamilton. It sounds monumentally depressing.
