Adult Fiction with a strong, continuous plot (No YA, Sci-Fi, or Comedy). Similar to ‘The Stand’, ‘The Road’, or movies like ‘Se7en’, ‘Shutter Island’ and ‘Gone Girl’ for example.

Hello all,

I am looking for new books I might enjoy. Broadly I am looking for fictional stories that are not Young Adult and not set in Sci-fi (I have enough books for now of sci-fi) or are very humorous (don't enjoy Dungeon Crawler Carl or Project Hail Mary for example) and are written in the last ~40 years. Nothing against those books in particular just doesn't translate very well for me personally from a book.

I did enjoy "The Stand", "The Road", the expanse Series, Red Rising Saga, I have a lot of the big series in Sci-fi and really want to branch out.

I like a really good plot that progresses over the course of the book or series (I don't like detective series/books that are basically case of the book books) with an immersive world and good developed characters.

Maybe I could point out movies that I enjoyed that I could imagine that I would have enjoyed as a book maybe:

shawshank redemption, Inception, Seven, Leon the professional, shutter Island, gone girl, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, Cast Away, the last samurai.

Those are the ones that come up at the top of my head.

I am thankful for every recommendation that fits 🙂 !

Have a wonderful weekend
