One of the strangest authors in literary history I've had the pleasure (?) of reading.

As soon as you mentioned Bloy took a hard Catholic turn later in life, Huysmans came immediately to mind; was not surprised to learn that they were friends. Will definitely give this a read. Also, can offer a medial recommendation for 'Les Diaboliques' -- although no relation to the film, based on a contemporary thriller by Boileau-Narcejac (the same duo penned the novel adapted for 'Vertigo.')
