Master and Margarita - Mikhail Bulgakov If you haven't read it, do. Read it now. Basically the devil and his cohorts go to Moscow and mess around with everyone and everything
Big Fish - Shit book but a great film. How about those books written after the film is released? The literature version of shovelware. Twelve Monkeys was the worst I ever read.
Might be a bit too historical for your tastes but I recommend the Flashman series of books. Set during the Victorian era across the British Empire and the war scenes are very well written.
I have written more crappy short stories than I can care to count. Currently trying to write some articles to see if I can nail down my style and get back into the swing of writing. I've even submitted a few to be published.
Podiobooks.com has some good work on it. Generally read by the Author as well. Check out "The Takeover" by Muir Lafferty. Corporate espionage with vampires and zombies.
