/lit/, what's a relatively short, fantastic novel that's easy to write a lot about (or simply has lots to analyse)? Preferably something dark in tone.

In before Lovecraft or Poe.

<-I loved this very much. Need to know The Odyssey. Each chapter is a short version all unto itself.

I agree.
Also, I don't know if it's too pleb for anyone here or not, but a novel I've adored since high school is Brave New World by Aldous Huxley.

Also, it would be incredibly easy to write about. There's a lot to analyze in a satire.

Any of Joe Abercrombie's novels, but you kind of need to read them in order and his first book is pretty bad.

American Psycho. It's essentially a commentary on 1980's Wall Street Culture and reaganomics.
