I love books that dig into the darker corners of the human mind—moral dilemmas, existential crises, unreliable narrators wrestling with guilt, all that good stuff. Dostoevsky nails this with Crime and Punishment and The Brothers Karamazov, but I’m looking for more books—classic or modern—that explore similar themes.
Maybe something with a tormented protagonist, intense philosophical debates, or that feeling of being trapped in your own thoughts. Any recommendations?

The Maniac by Benjamin Labatut is philosophically dark while being about science. Definitely has moral dilemmas and existential crises.
The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson, also worth checking out [ books in Dostoevsky style](https://zilu.app/book-results?query=books%20in%20Dostoevsky%20style)
