I'm surprised that nobody has brought up this gentleman's work. Admittedly, it is dark humour, but his methods of writing are delightful, at least to me, in the manner in which they cavort on the tongue.
As for vocabulary, I would recommend his piece, "The Nursery Freize," which is a series of marching nondescript creatures voicing various words of obscurity and lingual delight. "Lunistice," "obloquy," "ampersand," et cetera.
Is anyone else here a fan or am I so totally off topic as to be ostracized?
