Some of my favorite books in the genre are the dark, moody, and dreamlike stories. Like The Memory Police, The Gone World, The Fisherman, and of course the Southern Reach series. I just love books that are filled with atmosphere and introspection either in a dreamlike world or at least written in a dreamlike prose. What are your favorite books like this?
I love weird fiction and I love literary fiction and some of my favorite books are the ones that blend the two together, like everything by Jeff Vandermeer, to The Memory Police by Yoko Ogawa, and as of recently I’ve discovered Fever Dream by Samanta Schweblin which also scratched this itch. I like stories that are heavy on atmosphere and focus on the internal journey of the character and are less focused on the tension of survival or stopping whatever is happening. What are some of your favorite literary inspired weird lit books? I’ll add them to my TBR!
Edit: Thank you everybody!
