Enjoy weird fiction overall, sci-fi and "horror" (in a very general sense). I like some Lovecraft, VanderMeers, Ballard, China Miéville, Samanta Schweblin, late William Gibson, Mariana Enríquez... what recent books or writers caught your eye that may loosely fit the term or are similar to works of the above authors? Can be in English, Portuguese or Spanish.

If you just want plain weird, George Saunders was pretty weird, but haven't read much of his.

I really like Izumi Suzuki's work, which gets pretty weird also, Gibson-esque I think.

I also love Ada Palmer's Terra Ignota series, weird in many ways but not sure in the way you mean.

Exordia comes to mind also, though I didn't enjoy it that much.
