Looking for book recommendations that are scary but also intriguing, like annihilation and rules for vanishing. I’m a huge fan of cosmic horror, what I specifically loved about these books is the way they take the “Alice in wonderland” trope, putting characters in a warped version of reality with rules and a setting that the reader slowly gets to understand almost like an investigation. Ideally with writing that provides a ton of details and hints for the reader to look for as it unravels.
Annihilation was the first book I read that left me truly unsettled, and as a medical / science professional I loved the exploration of twisted science and biology in it.
Rules for vanishing provided a more coherent narrative but with a similar setting in a warped reality and inexplicable horror.
