I'm not a big fan of Clive Barker (even if he is gay) but that probably comes from not liking Hellraiser. Imajica I'll probably read some day when I run out of other books, my housemate has a copy on her shelf

Well my horror tastes run to Poe and Lovecraft so seriously warped imagery would be good

You are indeed correct. 1983 Cop/Psycho movie with Dennehy and Woods.
A classic.

Other 3 guessed correctly... (I've assumed you knew Gelfling is a creature in Dark Crystal, not the movie itself.)
Hmmm... An obscure literary reference...
This might be stretching it a little...

Um...my Danish is not so much lacking as absent
If I had to guess though I'd say Caspar Wessel was involved somewhere. Pure guess though

Not sure who the author is, doesn't say.
Relatively recent, was published/released on the 6th of January 2003, at 14:00. The publication has gotten so much attention, that it had already recieved a response from a lot of people by 18:00, on the same day.

(Answer to what the literature is: It's the 2003 summer exam in math. Maybe it's too hard to guess, considering probably only a few hundred people on the planet have seen it, and it's not on the internet as far as I know...)

I thought it was a report youd written for a maths class, so I was close!
Also, why do you have a summer exam in January?

"Although they declined to buy the Gas Works, the people of Mugsborough had to buy the gas. The amount paid by the municipality to the Company for the public lighting of the town loomed large in the accounts of the Council."
From the final paragraph of which (fiction) book? I doubt anyone will know without Googling.
