I haven’t read much, I read a few books at the beginning of the year. Shark Heart by Emily Habeck and Comfort me with Apples by Catherynne Valente were 2 that I absolutely loved so much I would read them again. I need recommendations of books like them. Weird stuff where the plot makes no sense? That’s what I want!

House on the Borderland by William Hope Hodgson.
Short book, quick read, but wow. Incredible prose and exceptionally weird. I highly recommend the “heathen edition.”
Varying degrees of weirdness, but I did like them all:
* House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski
* The Southern Reach series by Jeff VanderMeer
* Our Wives Under the Sea by Julia Armfield
* Monstrilio by Gerardo Samano Cordova
I’m still in the middle of The Raw Shark Texts by Steven Hall, but I’ll throw that in as well.
