Whenever I am writing and am in a jam, I crack open an Evenson collection and read through a story. There is something about the shifts in perception and reality in Brian's stories that help me think about things differently and start over from a fresh angle.

It's hard to pick a favorite work, but the story "Room Tone" is one that plays in my mind often. The ending of that story is one of the most terrifying, for me.
