Hoping to generate discussion and have a few books recommended that have some of the following characteristics:
- foreboding discovery of a main character’s past
- a plot conflict that with a focus other than war or physical/political fighting
- preferable plot conflict examples: exploration, escape, grand heist, obtaining wisdom, treasure hunt
- undercurrent of a great unused power or magic that has been long lost
btw, I’m borrowing this format from r/Fantasy
Books I have liked:
Joe Abercrombie’s The First Law series
Samantha Shannon The Priory of the Orange Tree
Michael Crichton The Eaters of the Dead
Lara Prior-Palmer (non-fiction) Rough Magic
Arthur C. Clarke (sci-fi) Rendezvous with Rama
Neal Stephenson (sci-fi) Anathem
Brandon Sanderson’s The Stormlight Archive seriesTraits like prose, characters, or settings you most enjoy:
Settings within the wilderness, crypts, large buildings/structures, caverns are all great.Series vs. standalone preference:
No real preference, but longer is better I suppose.Tone preference (lighthearted, grimdark, etc):
No strong preference, but mystical, ancient, and dark comes to mind.Complexity/depth level:
Preferably on the more intricate side.Thank you, let’s chat!

I often re-read The Legend of Sleepy Hollow around Halloween time. If you haven't read the original (published in 1819), it's a really fun read, with great descriptions of (obviously somewhat fictionalized) life in a town on the banks of the Hudson River in 1790.
What other short stories or books would you recommend for the Halloween season?
