Recs if you like There Is No Antimemetics Division...

The SCP is an organization that Secures, Contains, and Protects our world against anomalous objects, entities, and phenomena. Be advised: these books contain such SCPs that have escaped confinement and have caused havoc and destruction. Read at your own peril. And remember to document your findings.

books that fracture, remake, and defy the rules of time, space, memory, and idea.

Dive into these science fiction books that are shorter than 300 pages!

As always, open to any suggestions for additions to this list! 🙂

Speculative (sci-fi, fantasy, horror etc.) novellas less than 200 pages long that are either standalone or read like a standalone story

Books where memories are lost, gained, preserved, encountered, or otherwise altered through means that are not of this world. Work in progress, suggestions always welcome!

Recs are from r horrorlit. I have not read them, but thought it would be a fun concept for you and me.

(let me know if any suggestions are egregious)

As you turn the first page, a wave of dread consumes you. You see a library ticket at the front; 'The Library of Jurgen Leitner'. Who is this man? And why does this book seem to have such a horrible effect on your mind, your body, the world?

(For The Magnus Archives enthusiasts. Suggestions welcome though I may be a bit picky 🤓)

I’ve seen lists, but not one strictly about Ergodic/odd formatting where it’s vital to read the e/physical because of the formatting and/or text —non inclusive of illustrated versions, and just adding non-vital images, etc.

These are the books where if you don’t read the physical (maybe the ebook) you’re MISSING something VITAL to the experience.

I often read audiobooks and don’t know I’m missing out 🫠

PLS recommend W/ explanation (& avoid spoilers) & feel free to argue cases!!

Examples & notes in comments!!!

books that feel like the backrooms: unsettling and horrifying liminal spaces. Open to more recs that fit this description.

Stories that follow the New Weird genre. Adventures that mix reality with fantasy, horror, science fiction, and literary fiction. Each a distinct and unique story to envelope your mind.

Herein lies the liminal, the eerie. A seven part series documenting a single day and wide green fields void of any living beings. Reality is a train that has left long ago, and you are a post apocalypse zombie. Derealisation abounds and reality is a solid thing we can't grasp. Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable. For the twelfth housers out there.

Will update the more I read

I can't be the only one who want to remember all the books without jumping around in a video, right?

Mostly-fiction books that started out as posts (Reddit, instagram, twitter, tumblr, etc)

“Make your statement, face your fear.”

A selection of books with vibes similar to the themes, narrative format, and generally eeriness of our favorite horror pod. Recommendations always welcome!

Corporate cruelty explored through Lovecraftian monsters. (Horror elements but not all books are strictly horror.)

books in which speculative/science fiction/fantastical elements play with memory to interrogate the boundaries of the self and society as concepts

Books that are very creepypasta-esque or started out as a creepypasta story

are you kind of annoyed that all sci fi books seem to be set in space and then don't engage with science fiction at all beyond spacefaring? do you want more science fiction that challenges how far science can go without leaving the stratosphere? this list is for you!

just some really great horror scifi
