I’m looking for books that seemingly come from another reality. Like works of fiction that are meant to be read as if they were nonfiction. Not like the narrator saying “this is a true story that happened to me” sort of story but like “this physical book itself does not belong in our reality”.
I don’t know if I’m explaining this well but I want to feel like I’m a character in the world of these books, stumbling upon them. World War Z and House of Leaves are good examples. In World War Z’s case the book feels as though you could find it in the history section of a library in some other world. House of Leaves feels like you are the next person to come across the manuscript.
