Read The Starless Sea a while back and spent more time thinking about the underground library than any person in the story. The honeycomb passages, the old doors, the feeling of being lost in a place that did not care if you ever found your way out. I want another book where the location has more personality than half the cast. A weird hotel, a strange forest, a city that shifts overnight. Something that makes me want to live inside its world even if the plot is just okay.
Does anyone know a novel where the place stays with you longer than the people?

It’s probably been said a thousand times but Rebecca (Manderley is absolutely the fourth character in it), Haunting of Hill House, Mexican Gothic.
All of them have an almost liminal feel to them.
