What books or stories struck you in such a way that it has stuck with you for years afterward? It can be anything
for me pic related was a really eerie experience when I first read the series years ago. Just the way Wolfe wrote and how alien it felt really tripped me up because I knew its set billions of years into the future and definitely feels foreign, yet very familiar.
I know that's the point and Wolfe gradually reveals more throughout without spoonfeeding in the least, but even after years I would realize something new about the book that I didn't see before. It has layers that made me feel like I was trying to focus on something right before me but I could not look directly at it, I had to take time.
It's definitely one of those series that I appreciate more and more with time, but it still gives me this strange feeling that I still haven't grasped it and have yet to figure out more form Wolfe's writing.

I think I will always remember Walter Moers' The City of Dreaming Books.
It is a story set in a world where everything is about literature and how brilliant (or not) everyone is at writing poems/stories/novel etc. The protagonist sets out on a journey to the capital of books to find the author of an exceptional story he inherited from his godfather.
The way this world, the protagonist's journey and experiences are described is incredible. Despite having read the book several times already, it is always an adventures starting it anew.

Silent Hill 2 (which is actually based off of C+P if you're smart enough to read into it properly)
