Stigmata is my favourite of these, though all brilliant. I read it in on a trip from the UK to Vegas at age 24 (really trying to channel hunter s thompson, so was in a strange place) and it chilled me to the core.

When I walk around London and see large structures like St Paul's cathedral sat directly alongside skyscraping banking institutions, I can't help but wonder if in fact "the empire never ended". (https://urbigenous.net/library/how_to_build.html)

Then I shake the thought off and go uneasily to my workplace.
