A Voice Through the Clouds by Denton Welch. You'll need to be in robust psychological condition to read it, though - very, very few chuckles.

A recommendation in the very loosest sense.

Have you read it Paul?

Edit: I see it's only released tomorrow (so I guess it'll be a no).

Just started "The Rider" by Tim Krabbe. Very good.
He also wrote "The Vanishing", which was made into a particularly chilling film
