    1. Looking for surreal horror/mindbending

      I'm looking for some recommendations. I'm not a voracious reader, so just about anything you can recommend will be new to me.

      I'm not sure how to describe the genre I'm after, which is really why I'm here. I just got done binging Petscop on YouTube; the surreal and Lynchian story telling coupled with the dark subject matter really sucked me in. I'm also somewhat enthralled by some of the higher quality Backrooms content.

      I'm interested in short stories or novels.

      Edit: sorry for not tagging. I completely forgot!

      I'm interested in everyone's favourite Sir Pterry quote, if you have one!

      I've decided to try fantasy bingo this year. The most obviously challenging category for me on the reddit list is the challenge to find a book I will enjoy featuring fiber or fabric crafting or artistry.

      Does anyone have suggestions?

      I have read and enjoyed Surrender None by Elizabeth Moon which fits but I want to read something new and save rereads for the end of the year if I get stuck. Surrender None fits at least two bingo categories as it is also a story about disrupting systems.
