Well, I recommend _The_Revenants_ for anyone.  Moshe missed mentioning perhaps
the most interesting feature: Tepper does interesting things with gender--
the protagnist is female and male by turns, unpredictably and uncontrollably.  
For a reason.

I had a hard time putting it down.  Don't worry about macabre--it's not nearly
so bad as, say, an Orson Scott Card novel.
