I am looking for a collection of weird or interesting short stories of fiction, similar to Salt Slow or Bliss Montage. Not really looking for horror, but weird/creepy is okay. Or stories about identity, the self, sexuality etc. Her Body and Other Stories is on my list already but haven't read yet. I loved Salt Slow and Bliss Montage so much so I'm wondering if there's anything similar to those two.
Thanks!!

I didn’t like all the stories but I enjoyed most of them – [Cursed Bunny](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/61031128) by Bora Chung
Bora Chung’s *Cursed Bunny* leans towards horror, but is close to *Salt Slow* in terms of eeriness.
Weird girl queen Ottessa Moshfegh has a collection, *Homesick for Another World*. My ultimate favorite collection is by Raphael Bob-Waksberg, *Someone Who Will Love You In All Your Damaged Glory* – they’re not creepy-weird, but they are funny-weird.
Ben Loory, “Stories for the Nighttime and Some for the Day.” Here is “The Duck” told on radio program [This American Life](https://www.thisamericanlife.org/457/what-i-did-for-love/act-three-0)
Italy Calvino, “Invisible Cities”
Unclean Jobs For Women and Girls
Life Ceremony by Sayaka Murata
Lesser Known Monsters of the 21st Century by Kim Fu is exactly what you’re looking for
{{Three Moments of an Explosion by China Miéville}}
{{Fen by Daisy Johnson}} is a great collection of odd stories.
