Beschreibung
This list was created at Readercon 2007. I have added some later works by the same authors that would also qualify. Thumbs up books you would recommend; thumbs down books not worth reading.

Erklärungen
aulsmith: This is a good book, but I think it's fairly straight-forward horror, rather than slipstream
sturlington: This one was on the original canon list. But thinking about it, there is that sense when reading it that you're not sure what's real.
