I'm working on a long-term conceptual music project and I need fiction recommendations that deal with specific esoteric/occult themes to improve my lyrics writing.
I already have plenty non-fiction for inspiration like The Kybalion, High Magick, The Secret Teachings of All Ages, Liber ABA book 4, The Masks Of God, etc.
But I need prose that captures these vibes. Poetry too but mainly prose. If the book feels like if it was music it would be a Tool album or something, I wanna read it.
Narrative context: the music project is about a regular person who becomes a vessel for a powerful ancient entity via a mask, and is tasked by a mysterious incorporeal council to channel 108 "Musick Spells" (songs) and spread them through the internet, in order to reach particular individuals called The Seekers, helping them break through The Interference, and I stop here or it will get too long.
I've already been recommended VALIS, Foucault's Pendulum, King in Yellow, The Invisibles. What else you got?
