I decided to play the game “Control” and I’m really enjoying the setting. It’s basically about a secret organization that finds, secures, and covers up paranormal objects. These objects are linked to another dimension that affect the our world in strange ways. Kind of reminds me of the SCP thing in a lot of ways.
Anyway, there are a lot of case files and other documents you can collect in the game that gives small snippets of backstory on different items and big events that this organization has had to deal with. Normally, I don’t care about reading all the snippets of lore in almost games, but I found these intriguing and I’m reading every one as I find them.
So, naturally, I thought to look for books that have a similar setting and atmosphere as the game. The only ones that I can think of that I know are somewhat close are the Joe Ledger books by Jonathan Maberry. I’ve read most of those, but they’re pretty formulaic and more bombastic action-y than I prefer. Any suggestions would be welcome.
