I’d love to read more books that are dark and strange, that are like a fever dream.
Something like these books:
Paradise Rot by Jenny Hval,
Metamorphosis by Kafka,
Rouge by Mona Awad,
The Story of the Eye by Bataille,
Life Ceremony by Sayaka Murata
Basically books that are dark, unsettling, and strange. Books that make you go “wtf?” yet you can’t stop reading it lol.

I haven’t read any of the books you listed but “I’m thinking of ending things” was pretty weird to me 😅
* Earthlings by Sayaka Murata
* The Vegetarian by Han Kang
* Cursed Bunny by Bora Chung
* Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami
* The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov
* Severance by Ling Ma
* Bunny by Mona Awad
Also Earthlings by Sayaka Murata. Monstrilio by Gerardo Sámano Córdova and This Thing Between Us by Gus Moreno both have weird vibes.
*Piranesi* is surreal and strange but, importantly, enjoyable.
Bunny by Mona Awad had me saying wth every other page.
Cloud Atlas is pretty surreal and strange.
And if you’d like a French movie to devour in 1.5 hours, Mood Indigo. Has Audrey Tatou in it (from Amelie). Well Amelie is also a little surreal so that too.
