Anyone of you guys read any of his books? King Rat, Iron Council, etc.? Supposedly, he is the creator of New Weird. A...sort of fiction it seems...that incorporates elements from horror, fantasy and (most of the times) steampunk. (from what I heard, correct me if im wrong.)
I just recently discovered him, a few weeks ago in fact, and im in the middle of reading Ircon Council. VERY original. IMHO, finally someone that transcends from the "usual fantasy". There are TOO many elves, orcs and dwarves in fantasy. So many infact, that one cannot even clasify as "fantasy creatures" any more. Elves in movies, elves in video games...this guy does NOT have "LOTR critters" in his works.
China stands for originality. Hands down.
