Mikhail Bulgakov here, too.

Joseph Roth

Belatedly, Margaret Atwood

Laird Barron

David Chappell's novel Dagon

I also re-discovered Nabokov, whom I'd dismissed as a skilled writer but not to my taste after reading Lolita.

Francis Wyndham

Theodor Storm

Jose Saramago

I'd read other things by these authors before, but I really got into Blackwood's John Silence stories and Hodgson's Carnacki stories this year.

A relatively new author, Sarah Hall has a great deal of promise. I raad her first three novels this year and was largely impressed, although she lets the evocative/lyrical overcome the narrative impetus at times. This is considerably less pronounced in the most recent novel I read, however.
