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.

Asking around gave me this shortlist of suggestions:

  • Agustina Bazterrica (in Spanish)
  • Suzan Palumbo’s short fiction collection Skin Thief
  • Saoirse Ní Chiaragáin’s Wax & Wane
  • Ahmed Saadawi’s Frankenstein in Baghdad
  • Kev Lambert’s You Will Love What You Have Killed
