Books from the characters of bungo stray dogs

At Nohara66's request, scfi books "without space and physics!" (Or as close as can be). Some of these do feature spaceships in the background or as a step from point A to B, or set within galactic empires, or once colonised worlds, but involve no physics and don't focus on life/travel in space.

books where workplaces or locations are not compliant with osha standards or they become not compliant with osha standards during the events of the book disclaimer: whether or not these are actual osha violations is unknown but they are osha violations in my heart please don't arrest me mister us government

Any and all books guests recommend at the end of each episode of The Ezra Klein Show from The New York Times. I haven’t listened to every episode and this list is obviously very incomplete, so please feel free to let me know about missing ones!

Books set in either entirely fictional worlds or an Earth entirely different from how we know it that you can reaaaaally sink your teeth into (whether through settings, politics, or magic systems)

It's hard to enjoy novellas when you like character-driven stories. There's barley any time to establish what a character's like in a novella! Surely novellas are not for me!

FALSEHOOD AND SLANDER, MY LIEGE!

This is a list of novellas I read and finished thinking 1) woah, that was good, and 2) this absolutely needed to be a novella to be the best version of itself. All genres are welcome here!

I like my vampires like I like my lovers: melancholy, troubled by questions of meaning, and not necessarily romantic.

Nothing against the fun-campy-exciting vampire novels of the world, but this is a place for moral complexity, existential dread, and vampirism as a metaphor/lens to explore other ideas. I want vampire novels that make me think. Introspective vampires! The vampire as social commentary! Please suggest titles to add because I'm desperate for more!!

Vampire books, the more gothic the better. Because IWTV has taken over my brain and I need more books like this in my life.

Cats are always the main characters in their own stories (in every one of their 9 lives!) Some cosy, some crime-solving; I offer a list of cat-loving books.

Books where a house plays a major role, whether it’s sentient or simply a recurring place that haunts the characters.

Welcome - these are the niche, strange, or interesting books I find donated to my little free library. Please, comment if you end up saving or reading any of these. I want to know!

Translated cozy books.

Regardless of personal beliefs on what they are exactly, possession is a documented phenomena that still happens to this day and that remains one of the biggest influences in horror media. This list explores the experiences behind the horror, the real-life cases experienced by the energumens (possessed people) and the exorcists and doctors who studied and assisted them.

Always welcome to new additions.
