fiction and non-fiction are welcome
none because true nihilists don't write since it's pointless

Existentials like Nietzsches are still fundamentally Nihilists because they don't exactly dismiss the main points

Sextus Empiricus' Outlines of Pyrrhonism is the based guide to nihilism. The same could be said for Nagarjuna's mulamadhyamakakarikas. Both classical Greek skepticism and Buddhist madhyamaka, however, existed within larger cosmological and soteriological structures whereby the tools of deconstruction could be re-appropriated for life-affirming action.
Deracinated from their philosophical context, however, as they are in our decadent-phase syncretistic culture of the spectacle, these two thinkers are the Great Destroyers. Read them at your own peril.

Stavrogin is nihilist as fuck. Also, Camus and his "Stranger" come to mind. You may also want to check out his "A Happy Death", which is his first novel and the one that Camus later transformed into the Stranger (main characters are both named Mersault and both nihilists).
