Fester's Lucky 13: Psych
The Miffs! The jazzy flow is alluringly hypnotic, until they change it up with some bluesy pscyh/grunge that bring back flashes of the Gits and early Smashing Pumpkins.

Gene Wolfe – The Book of the New Sun (1982)
SF disguised as epic fantasy, unreliable narration, a big ol’ puzzle, but also a bit of a slog.

Happy Krampusnacht!
