Books dealing with Metropolis at night and loneliness

By SilentReef

This is kind of a weird question, but I’ve always been drawn to big cities, the whole rundown/decadent vibe, and that gloomy, kind of lonely feeling you get when you’re walking around the outskirts of industrial areas. Does anyone know of a book that can give off that mood? Could be a novel, an essay, or even a diary-type thing. Thanks!
