Creepy Cool Series I want to read

This Spanish author has one of the Creepy-Coolest websites I’ve seen in awhile.  I’m very interested in reading his series of gothic-literary books.  They are in no particular order.  You can read one book and it will give you a little about the other characters at different times in their lives, but he describes them in an interview as being like a Chinese Box, “arranged as a labyrinth with different points of entry.”  Each book has a “different tone, a different texture.”  The Author is Carlos Ruiz Zafon

I gorged on books last night at the library.  I had like a full on book shopping spree.  What a rush!
James Baldwin’s – THE PRICE OF THE TICKET
Ann Patchett’s – STATE OF WONDER
Rick Moody’s – THE ICE STORM
Austin Wright’s – TONY AND SUSAN

And this is after buying:

Raymond Chandler’s – FAREWELL MY LOVELY
Stewart O’Nan’s – LAST NIGHT AT THE LOBSTER
Stewart O’Nan’s – SONGS FOR THE MISSING
