I am looking for books similar to “At the Mountains of Madness” by H.P. Lovecraft(ive pretty much read everything from lovecraft), “Eversion” by Alastair Reynolds, “Das Eulentor” by Alexander Gruber (dont know if this book ever released in another language), “The Hollow Places” by T. Kingfisher, I also tried reading “Ascension” by Nicholas Binge but it wasnt really to my taste. Hope you have some ideas. thx in advance

    I’m going to give you a list that may be more on the fringes of what you want.

    You might be interested in Clive Barker’s The Great and Secret Show, and its sequel Everville. It’s been a while since I’ve read them. I think Everville had more of the eldritch stuff, but I don’t recall whether it holds up on its own.

    Peter Cline’s 14 fits what you want, though it has a bit more of a modern tone. The Fold takes place in the same world.

    American Elsewhere by Robert Jackson Bennet.

    The Way Up Is Death by Dan Hanks

    An Absolutely Remarkable Thing by Hank Green

      Ive read some Clive Barker (Book of blood) and I didnt like most of his stories, but I will check your suggestions out regardless.

        I am the only person I know who absolutely hates Clive Barker’s short stories, but loves his long fiction.

          Well I certainly dont hate them, but I often felt like they where written just for shock value to gain attention and make the books more popular.
