I'm a big fan of Ted Chiang's short stories and novellas. Every new one I read I find myself thinking "how does this guy come up with this?" it's so creative and thought-provoking and engaging to me. The shorter formats allow me to experience his creativity in a way that longer form novels probably would not, to see so many different "thought experiments" presented in a short collection.
Is there an author or collection that might "hit the same" for me in the horror genre? I've never read a lot of horror but I would love to find something in the same vein for that genre, if such a thing exists, for an October reading list 🙂

You should read QNTM – There is No Antimemetics Division. It’s mind-bendy and cosmic horror.
Maybe check out The Dangers of Smoking in Bed by Mariana Enriquez. It’s a great collection of contemporary horror.
