I really would like some recommendations for online Japanese novels (user submitted are fine) which are heavy in non-Joyo kanji. I want to find online novels with rare vocabulary and Kanji as a means of advancing my Kanji studies.

I have found that genres such as Horror and Mystery tend to have a lot of strange vocabulary and make use of a lot of non-Joyo Kanji.

Please recommend me some non-Joyo Kanji heavy online novels. The genre is not the most important criteria. Any online novel which makes extensive use of non-Joyo Kanji and rare/strange vocabulary will do.

Secondly, genres/themes of novels which I would like to read are the following (however the above criteria is the most important)

Horror
SK
Mystery
Revenge (especially revenge to school bullying)
Science Fiction
Etc

Anything will do as long as it is non-Joyo Kanji heavy

Also please be sure to recommend specific titles and if possible to include links.

Thank you

Have you tried just browsing Amazon.jp?

Here's something I posted a few months ago that might be of interest.

I think older books have more rare kanji in them. Since they're old, they can be read online too. Kokoro by Natume Souseki seems to fit the bill(though I find it really boring)
Check out Aozora Bunko if you haven't already; they have a ton of books and short stories. http://www.aozora.gr.jp/
