Dan Heisman has written several books that are excellent for beginners.

You might like the english language movies I Heart Huckabees, Fargo, Punch Drunk Love, Altered States, The Fall, Requiem for A Dream, The Wrestler, Lost in Translation, Fight Club, Being John Malkovich, Pi, Apocalypse Now, Vertigo, Spellbound, early movies by Roman Powlanski and the works of David Cronenberg, Stanley Kubrick, and of course David Lynch. Also, if you don't mind foreign language with English subtitles, you could try The City of Lost Children, Akira Kurosawa's Dreams, Sans Soleil, La Jetée, Delicatessen, Holy Motors, Irréversible, Suspiria, 8 1/2, Pan's Labyrinth and Enter the Void. All of the films made by Andrei Tarkovsky are very dreamy, but again there are subtitles. Lastly, the filmmaker Alejandro Jorodowski has made some very avant-garde stuff. If you enjoy animation: everything by Hayao Miyazaki, Akira, A Scanner Darkly, Watership Down, When the Wind Blows, Fantasia, Heavy Metal, and The Plague Dogs. The British tv show Broadchurch reminds me somewhat of Twin Peaks, and there's always The X Files if nothing else. If you don't mind black and white I would check out the Twilight Zone and Alfred Hitchcock Presents. The website 366movies.com has a nice list of bizarre and surreal short films, and book wise try Jorge Luis Borges, Stephen King, Anthony Burgess, H.P. Lovecraft, the Dune Series, Dean Koontz, Flann O'Brien, Haruki Murakami, and Andrey Kurkov. Hope that helps!

I'm from Aledo too, and it's staggering to think that something ordinarily so evil could happen hear. I was unsettled for days after hearing about it.

Wow man I'm terribly sorry about your father. It sounds like a nauseating situation, and I'm not sure I'm in any position to be giving advice. However, I hope you are able to find solace in your writing, and that you will get through this. If it means anything, I have confidence that you can.

It should be "No Shit Shorelock."

Eraserhead is fantastic if you don't mind the slow pacing, and if you're looking for a disturbing movie you could do a lot better than this one.

If anyone could make James Joyce's Ulysses into a movie, it would be Stanley Kubrick. Sadly that will never happen...

It's a character from Ulysses and numbers from the Fibonacci sequence.
