I’m looking for fantasy that is trippy. Kinda like Philip K Dick if he was writing about magic and sword fights. I’m thinking Gene Wolfe’s Book of the New Sun and Michael Moorcock’s Elric series.
Maybe kind niche but I’m sure someone has done it, right? There so much trippy sci-fi, there’s gotta be some trippy fantasy too.
Thanks!

Have you read Wolfe’s _The Wizard Knight_?
Have you checked out China Miéville’s stuff? Perdido Street Station is weird as hell and has that trippy vibe you’re after, though it’s more weird fantasy than straight sword and sorcery
Also maybe try The Fifth Head of Cerberus by Wolfe – it’s technically sci-fi but feels like fantasy and will mess with your head just as much as Book of the New Sun
