Chasing a vibe

Last summer I read 4 books that I think really define a section of my taste in books. I am searching for another sapphic book that would fit in. They're all different genres, I think what they have in common is being stylized, experimental, heavy on the vibes. They feel quite ethereal to me. Anyway, the books are:

- Our Wives Under the Sea by Julia Armfield (literary horror)

- This Is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone (sci-fi romance)

- In the Dream House by Carmen Maria Machado (stylized memoir)

- I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman (dystopian - not sapphic but part of this vibe I'm going for)

Just for reference, I've read Julia Armfield's other books, Her Body and Other Parties by Carmen Maria Machado, and The River Has Roots by Amal El-Mohtar.

Sorry if this is too vague I just have something so particular that I'm in the mood for and don't know where to begin! Thanks in advance!
