I'm not sure whether these entirely fit the brief, but I have similar tastes to you, and I enjoyed all of these.
Life of Pi by Yann Martel
The Astonishing Color of After by Emily XR Pan
Creatures of Passage by Morowa Yejide
The Space Between Worlds by Micaiah Johnson
The Echo Wife by Sarah Gailey
How High We Go in the Dark by Sequoia Nagamatsu
The Seven 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton
Birds in Fall by Brad Kessler
These are all new to me. I'll check them out, thanks!
I loved Piranesi by Susanna Clarke! Also if you want to stretch your genre comfort, Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars trilogy is just wonderful. I return to it every few years.
Cheers! I'll take a look.
If you are into horror, you may enjoy The Locked Tomb series by Tamsyn Muir. Just be warned that we are still awaiting the final, overdue volume.
Anything by Jeff Vandermeer. Maybe Margaret Atwood too but I've only read Oryx and Crake (which was great but not sure how much it fits here). Tender is the Flesh is really good and pretty dark. Blindness by José Saramago. If you're looking for something really weird then House of Leaves (but warning, it's not exactly a normal story and you should get the physical book).
