Recs if you like You Feel It Just Below the Ribs...

Book titles that represent reasons you might go to the doctor, what you might say to each other, or what treatments might be offered to cure your ailments. It's up to you to decide what is what😉

(This is not a commentary on these books or authors! The focus of this list is purely on the titles---but if you find a favorite new read here, I'd love to know🤭)

Suggestions are always welcome! Co-authored books in any genre (i.e. books that were written by at least two authors, either listed under one pen name or credited individually).

Books that adapt, continue, or spin-off narrative fiction podcasts (and one tiktok series)!

Fictional books where the author uses footnotes or excerpts to build out the world they’ve created.

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

a diverse selection of alternate history novels & stories (that aren’t just about WW2/nazism)

Whether you know what the book is about or not, some titles hit like a punch to the gut.

Books with skeletons on the cover.

Novels with intriguing titles (that I read or that sound interesting) in English (either originally or translated); a mix of genres. Mostly 4+ words in the title, with some select 3-word-titles but no shorter ones. No parts of series except for the first book.

Books that are unambiguously depicting the use of technology and societal change to create the most evil society-warping machinations imaginable. So naturally, someone with lots of money and not a lot of decency or empathy will misinterpret it and try to make it real. Yay!

Good night, dear readers. Good night.

This consists of all the books in the WTNV Universe, as well as the other books by the creators.
