Solid mix of horror and dystopian stuff there. Based on your taste for psychological darkness and weird narrative structures, I’d throw in “The Fifth Season” by N.K. Jemisin – it’s got that same unsettling world-building as McCarthy but with a sci-fi twist. Also maybe “Annihilation” by Jeff VanderMeer since you’re already doing House of Leaves – both mess with your head in similar ways.
Infinite jest.

The shining. Also this type of “should I read this or that” post is not allowed
