i mean good authors, not one hit wonders

murakami. i dislike him for this reason but he should be up your alley.

ishiguro is similar.

possibly you'd be into lauren groff, bit less 'pure mood' but it's juicy imagery.

i laud your pic btw, good kafka pairing

read the unconsoled by kazuo ishiguro, it's very kafka-esque.

Do you think The Castle was about a particularly difficult-to-reach castle?

Vonnegut is trash go back to r/books

You get a lot of that from older horror stories. There's the obvious Romanticism stuff like Poe or Robert Browning, or the Victorians, as well as some of the earlier weird fiction like Clark Ashton Smith or Algernon Blackwood. None of those are usually shooting for complexity beyond trying to be spooky.

My favorite that falls under that category is probably "The Willows" by Blackwood, quick read and really atmospheric

Thanks for the replies

Barth, Murnane

Thomas Hardy has a very unmistakable atmosphere in his novels and especially his short stories. Read Wessex Tales.
