I'm looking for more books to read stuff that are both creepy and full of suspense

I want adventure or dark and creepy horror vibes and maybe weird mystery stuff like dirk gently holistic detective

Not books but some other media i like stranger things, dirk gently cyberpunk and dark crystal

Stuff with very weird vibes or mystery thriller And scifi dystopia

Also I loved the labyrinth movie to

I'll add Goose bumps too

Looking for books I'm just listing stuff I've liked to help find other stuff I might like

If you are really into weird fiction, I strongly recommend the anime texhnolyze. One of my favorite works of art ever.

Anything like Goose bumps?

I remember reading all the Goose bumps as a kid

Especially the horror land books

Would love stuff like this

(Trying to make a small list of books to read hopefully it slowly gets me back into writing too)

The title is pretty self explanatory, but I'd love it if folks would recommend books (novels, short stories, whatever really) that scratch an itch similar to that scratched by Antimemetic. It's one of the first sci-fi kinda books I've personally been super-wowed by in the past 10-15 years at least, loved the concept and the ideas behind the book.

Are any of qntm's other books similarly bizarre? Are there other threads on the SCP Foundation stuff I should look into?

Quick list of other authors I also love: Michael Cisco, Jeff VanderMeer, John Langan, Laird Barron, T.E.D. Klein, (some) China Mieville, Gemma Files, Caitlin R. Kiernan

Much quicker list of ostensibly similar stuff that didn't quite land for me: House of Leaves (I've tried a few times, just can't get into it despite loving the overarching concepts; epistolary fiction and I don't quite get along in large doses). I would love to love this one, but just can't quite manage it.

I think I've already been recommended American Elsewhere for some similar vibes. Not opposed to repeat recommendations, because my ADHD turns me into a blend between a goldfish and a pasta strainer unless I've got things written down to reference.

If it's not against the rules, I'm also very interested in TV/Movie recommendations with similar vibes.

Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions!

I also like cyberpunk, stranger things I want really bizzare stories that make the brain think.

I also really enjoyed paradise trap, and Mercedes killer by Stephen King

I love Phillip K Dick, Stephen King, fantasy, and Science Fiction (the darker the better so far). I'm currently working through Ice by Anna Kavan (not sure of that counts but it's definitely weird). The more I look into this subgenre, the more I want to read, but I'm not sure where to really go from here.

I'd really love a few authors/book recommendations and why they fit in weird literature and why you suggest them.

So I've finished reading The Fisherman by John Langan, which I really liked.

I'll avoid spoiling it too much but at some point the characters find themselves on this giant, primordial beach. Occult place, people aren't supposed to go there, it's "beside" or "below" this world etc etc you know this kind of place. But what struck me was when one character said "there are cities there".

I was struck hard by this idea, that's not the kind of place you have cities in ! Later the book briefly shows one of those cities but doesn't really describe it that much, we just know that there are what seems to be policeman, with long black coats, masks like bird of prey and a long, curved knife. And again I was like WOW !

So I'm looking for more books whith cities where there shouldn't be, that kind of things, so I can go WOW! again.

And where to find his books? Of course the one I'm interested in is unavailable (Celebrant).

Just finished reading through this weird and icky little novel and I have mixed feelings. I didn't really like the book but felt that there's got to be a huge twist or reveal at the end, and while there definitely was something like that, I kinda felt that I was waiting for something better I guess.

We sort of keep waiting for Eric to return home and then it's not such a big deal when it eventually happened, the big reveal concerning the main character instead. There was also lot's of exposition for the Factory and the Poles which were just a curiosity in the end.

I'm just rambling but maybe my biggest gripe about the book is that it wasn't "realistic" enough to sell me the setting and the things that happened. It was a ride alright but I would't rate it more than 2 out 5 for keeping me invested until the end. I would've been more disappointed if the book was longer.

Any thoughts?

Hello, everyone! I'm looking for 21st century Weird Fiction trilogies or series (4+ books) such as the Bas Lag trilogy by Mieville or the Borne trilogy by Vandermeer.

I've read works by Cisco. Other than Animal Money, most of his works are less than 250 pages. Which is why I'm looking for expansive works, especially trilogies, which are published after 2000.

I'd really appreciate your help, I've just started to explore Weird Fiction. Thanks a ton!
