From the book "The Rough Guide to Cult Fiction":http://www.allconsuming.net/item/view/226850

"The isolation ward is dedicated to authors who have produced one classic cult novel, but didn’t take enough drugs (or took the wrong kind)…become secluded mystics or were inconveniently alive for too long and so cannot be considered cult themselves."

The list is alphabetical by title.
