Gonna agree with "House of Leaves" as a must read if you can commit to the 700-some pages. It's a great read.

I'd also reccomend "John Dies at the End" (It's a comedy-horror mash-up that does both well.)

"A Clockwork Orange" is imo a really imaginative book that follows a gang of droogs, but be warned there is a lot of ultra-violence and the author uses Nadsat to detail a lot of the violence.

If you're looking for something a little less horror inspired:

"Rx: A Tale of Electronegativity" is a sci-fi comedy story that I can only describe as a mix of the distopian future of "Clockwork Orange", "Make Room! Make Room!", with just a dash of "Fear and Loathing in Las Angeles" drug inspire hallucinations.

"Battle Royale." is pretty involving too.

I got more, but it's hard to make suggestion without knowing what books you've read that you've liked.
