I like fiction, contemplative fiction, some sci-fi, and thriller/horror. I like stuff that’s weird and makes you think, preferably both at the same time. I love Harlan Ellison and Stephen King’s work, along with Cursed Bunny, but I didn’t like Nine Stories by J.D Salinger or Flannery O’Connor too much (just how she wrote dialogue, she’s still very good at story telling)

Daphne du Maurier The Birds and other stories have good thriller/slight horror vibes
To drown in dark water by Steve toase
Root Rot by Sarah Read
Dead Girl Driving, and other devastations by Carina Bisett
You gotta read Never Whistle at Night !
For sci-fi you can’t go wrong with Ted Chiang’s collections. There’s also a very good collection from Henry Kuttner called The Last Mimzy. Both bring the strangeness in their own special ways.
