Any recommendations for books with a similar aesthetic (nuclear russian wasteland) to the metro books, and I recently watched the first season of true detective and was wondering if any books also fit a similar theme to that (dark secret being uncovered by a detective type beat) TIA

The Tainted Cup and A Drop of Corruption by Robert Jackson Bennett fits this almost perfectly. These are fantasy Sherlock Holmes style mysteries in a bleak world where “magic” involves various medical mutations and characters need to be careful to avoid contamination throughout the greater world that could lead to uncontrolled mutations, though the main focus of both books are the mystery aspect.
