I would say Camus stands out, and that is creepy.

There is something dark and disturbing about Camus' work, aside from the obvious.

While other philosophers seem able to lose themselves in some abstract, or shifting reality and concepts, Camus seems deliberately stuck in the existential state of this reality, he loses himself in a dark pathological maze of existence, deliberately dwelling in things that disturb us most, meaninglessness, despair, uncertainty, anxiety, absurdity, hopelessness - he takes us into the most starkly poetic bleak reality, and tells us there is no escape.

Well said, if easier said than done. I would add that it is no small thing to be able to handle those realisations. Not being able to handle them leads to so many noble but ultimately unknowable pursuits. This brings to mind that Blakianism, how does it go? "Better to kill the baby in the cot than harbour thoughts of ill doings"?
