Good Omens - Gaiman and Pratchett
Necroscope series (if pick 1 I would say deadspawn) - Brian Lumley
The Store - Bentley Little
Swan Song - Robert McCammon
Imajica - Clive Barker
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep - Dick
The Stand - King
Incarnations series (For Love of Evil if just one) - Piers Anthony
