i am in desperate need of something good that will hit me at my core. im especially in the mood for something that incorporates elements of fantasy, horror or sci fi to explore its themes. i especially love stuff where you cant actually tell if something crazy is actually happening or if its a metaphor like (not book examples but you get the idea) with an elephant sitting still or angels in america.
quite open in general, i just need something that isnt 100% realist right now.

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
This just popped into my mind because of another post that mentioned Blade Runner. The book is quite different from the film and as I recall it’s great at using the created world to explore a few ideas. I read it years ago and got my FIL to read it too as it was right up his alley as well and we enjoyed discussing bits of it. Not too long a book at all. Well worth the read.
The Twisted ones? The hollow places?

It’s like cosmic folk horror
