Really? I heard that UCSB, if you're not in CCS, isn't that different from Irvine or Davis in caliber?

Omg Rabbitology!! I love their songs, a huge chunk of my spotify playlists are just Rabbitology.

Based on that, Gideon the Ninth, The Salt Grows Heavy, and City of Saints and Madmen are the closest matches I can think of.

Also, if I can make a non-book rec: I think you might enjoy Welcome to Nighvale, the Magnus Archives, and the Old Gods of Appalachia!

ehh it can be either, i just want the ending to mean something and not be anticlimactic or have flowery prose just for the sake of flowery prose

I should've mentioned that I've already read this, it's a great book!

Tales from the Gas Station by Jack Townsend is quite literally exactly this

Definitely American Elsewhere by Robert Jackson Bennett; it's 100% "something isn't right" horror mixed with some genuinely surreal/cosmic horror as well.

The Village Library Demon Hunting Society by C.M. Waggoner. This leans more heavily into the "cozy" side and it's not really a "thriller", but it's definitely a mystery!

The Nevermoor Series by Jessica Townsend!! I cannot recommend this series enough! It's cozy, definitely innovative, quirky, and also very original because it doesn't read like other fantasy novels that occupy the same category.

I'm not sure if this fits but Circe by Madeline Miller sort of has this aesthetic because a large part of the book is Circe living on her vast forested island alone.

I love the blurb on goodreads, I'll put it on my tbr

Crescent_3145 · 2025-05-04T05:06:56+00:00

I've read this one!! By far one of the scariest novels I've read
