A TBR List of Cult Writers - Page 2

This list is inspired by the book Cult Writers by Ian Haydn Smith. "These writers have achieved cult status because of their unwillingness to conform to the strictures of any given genre" (Haydn Smith). I have selected the works that most piqued my interest. I hope you will find some new titles to add to your TBR list as well!
