I'll second The Slynx. You're the first person I've come across around here who knows it.

I also adore Frankenstein and hate what that sensitive, eloquent creature got turned into by pop culture.

I'll add some others here too that ayrt will hopefully look at.

Patricia Highsmith wrote a lot of good suspense. Daphne du Maurier is most famous for Rebecca, which I love, but has a lot of other great writing too. Amelie Nothomb is another favorite of mine. My introduction to her was Hygiene and the Assassin. I also like Angela Carter. I happen to love Victorian sensation novels and Mary Elizabeth Braddon is a good place to start if you're interested in checking those out. Octavia Butler has written some of my favorite sci-fi.
I like Emma Donoghue, Sarah Waters, and Isabel Allende for historical fiction.

Probably because I'm Russian :) I must say I'm pleasantly surprised anyone in the West knows it, and I'm very glad you like it! Tolstaya's one of my favourite writers.

Thank you for the recs, too - I've read almost none of the things you've mentioned.

I haven't gotten around to looking at her other writing yet, so I'll have to do that. Are there any in particular you'd recommend?

[dreemyweird]

Her short stories are very nice! I think the English collection is called "The White Wall".

Her story about what would've happened if Pushkin survived his duel with Dantes and met Lenin is absolutely hilarious.
