Hello! I have recently begun reading a bit more seriously this past year and I find myself drawn to a certain type of book, but I am not sure how it is categorized.
-Jitterbug Perfume
-Piranesi
-Good Omens
Honorable mentions:
-Kafka on the Shoe
-Klara and the Sun
They're all like mystical fiction that deal with "out-there" themes and suspension of belief? Is there a name for this? If not, what are some other books you think I would like?

Depending the author, they might be categorized as Fantasy or Literature. They used to group stories that were part fantasy, surrealism, sci fi, and horror into the catchall of Slipstream or Weird Fiction.
