Hm, it's a very particular mood that I can't quite describe. Oddly,
when I'm stressed, I sometimes gravitate towards books that I know
will be troubling to read. Probably some sort of cathartic instinct.
For a while I put M.R. Carey in this category (see Fellside)
but he tends towards a twist of surprising hope at the end, even if
half the cast is horribly dead. And I like that in his work, but it's
a different thing.
