I’m not a massive reader but would like to get back into it, when I was young the only thing I remember not being able to put down was ‘A series of unfortunate events’. Can anyone suggest an adult book version of this – I guess kind of eerie / creepy, atmospheric, mystery, off beat etc. not necessity fantasy.

Maybe Weaveworld by Clive Barker? Abarat is a young adult one that he wrote, it also might fit what you’re looking for.
ASOUE is unique, as far as I have found. The author’s real name is Daniel Handler, but his adult fiction doesn’t have that same playfulness of language.
But if it’s the eerie/atmospheric you liked, perhaps The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. It’s polarizing: many people say it doesn’t have enough plot. I found it mesmerizing.
