 No no .. not sure what all that glitters is .. but the Gap series
 has variations on the theme for titles.  The gap into conflict,
 the gap into vision, the gap into madness, etc.

 One of the darkest stories I've ever read.  Thomas Covenant
 was the first thing he wrote, and it was pretty hard going to
 find any laudable characters in there .. but with the Gap
 series he went all out to make sure none of the characters
 were worthy.

 I'd have expected it'd be a fairly popular read amongst this
 kind of crowd.
