Recs if you like Sputnik Sweetheart...

Based on the list/book published in 2006, general editor Peter Boxall.

Books where the protagonist loses their grip on reality, has strange, unsettling, and/or surreal experiences

A list to help those who aspire to read from authors outside the typical areas. I will be creating different list for different regions. I will also list the countries currently found in the list. Be sure to check out the other lists! Note: The countries are not perfect as some countries are classified differently, so I did my best.

Current Countries: China, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan

Books that are banned, censored, removed from bookshops, marketplaces, and libraries, and writers that are considered as a threat to the authorities. Some called it a "Fahrenheit list".

books that deal with the depths and complexities of the mind, across multiple genres. predominantly psychological thrillers/horror.

works that are easier to read, page turners or on the shorter side.
