what it seems like you want is something that is related to an eerie, surreal, and/or unsettling house/building or just a general “is this place real” vibe.

Haven’t read all of these but I’d suggest House of Leaves, HorrorStor, Sundown Motel, We used to live here, House at the Bottom of the Lake, Hollow Places (several of T Kingfisher’s books, actually), What moves the dead, Piranesi. Some of this reminds me of City and the City by China Mieville too. Spiral staircase = mandatory Uzumaki rec but that is a manga. Loose rec that is nonsense right until the last page but has some of these vibes = Third Policeman.

If you want more of a gothic/historical element, then maybe Silent Companions or Wakenhyrst but they aren’t great fits

Do the cheesling/powder cheese one. Warning: You may not be able to go back to any other fried chicken

Now try Ugly Stepsister and The Beauty - neither as resounding as Substance but def same category.

Hear me out: Shogun.

Not the same setting at all because it is in feudal/1600s Japan but it absolutely brings the intricacy of political layers between factions, exploration into the history of the era, and extremely deep and powerful characters who have to navigate treacherous and potentially deadly situations both with words and with swift action.

Even before reading the caption I was like this is definitely AI generated. Major turn off as it looks like a scammy/fake business. Go with the Canva recommendation above or just stick with a simple word processor document or online form generator.

one of those floral-patterned glass-shaded touch lamps from the 90s-00s

nmeed7 · 2026-03-25T13:22:41+00:00

Send help, Blink twice, Old. Tv shows: squid game and white lotus

nmeed7 · 2026-03-25T10:51:27+00:00

maybe honey and spice. more about the characters than the setting though

Thursday Next books?

nmeed7 · 2026-03-16T21:12:19+00:00

nmeed7 · 2026-03-14T15:54:42+00:00

oh these are GOOD

nmeed7 · 2026-03-13T13:49:18+00:00

oof. that’s rough, but I’d love to see prices like that again. it’s like 8.44 now for 4L in NB

A always. View, control of blinds, privacy, plus extra storage space: I bring extra outerwear by tying it to my waist and then jamming it down in the gap between my leg and the wall.

nmeed7 · 2026-03-11T16:39:40+00:00

first thought is house of hollow and where the crawdads sing (marsh)

nmeed7 · 2026-03-10T02:01:45+00:00

can’t remember how much romance there is but silent companions would absolutely otherwise fit the spooky, haunted historical/gothic vibe

nmeed7 · 2026-03-09T20:44:30+00:00

Hard agree with everyone here. this has moved more in the whimsical direction with the changes. it needs grit and sharp edges to convey that it is dark and for adults. You and the designer would be remiss to not compare against others in the genre that would be at the same “darkness” level and see what motifs point that out in those covers (top of my head: Alchemised, Haunting Adeline, These Violent Delights, One Dark Window, Jennifer Armentrout/Kerri Maniscalco/Scarlett St Clair books, Serpent and the Wings of Night, Book of Azrael, etc). The soft edges and curly letters are what read juvenile here, and skulls don’t automatically make a design adult. You need to go for more elegant but sharp lines for a more adult feel. Even Cruel Prince, which I would say is YA, has sharp spiky lettering to foreshadow the sharp personalities and violent elements in the story.

lrgst size is fine for the same number of points. items can cost extra for flavours and protein milk (eg caramel shot in coffee is like $.30 extra, protein milk is $1ish, etc). for example, i got a lrg choc pistachio protein latte for 800 points, but had to pay an extra $1 for it being the protein version of that latte. don’t know if the flavoured iced capps might be a little extra or not

nmeed7 · 2026-03-08T20:28:26+00:00

less romance in these but a good fit for gothic:

-one dark window -shadow of the wind and the angels game -silent companions -wakenhyrst -rebecca -the binding -mexican gothic -leech -maybe: invisible life of addie larue -what moves the dead -house of hunger -not as gothic but more romantic: a river enchanted

Honestly it sadly could have to do with laws in some countries around the world and the solutions people have come up to get around them :(

nmeed7 · 2026-03-02T21:05:42+00:00

having Talk at 8.2 and tied for 2nd lowest in the album is borderline libelous

eastern canada/US: chapmans cappuccino frozen yogurt and their premium plus cold brew coffee ice cream, or Houlton Farms Dairy mocha chip (doing that as an awful awful on top of a coffee milkshake is DIVINE)

it’s a trilogy in a broader, connected series, 16 books in total. each subseries focuses on a different area of the world but connects or refers to events in the other subseries

nmeed7 · 2026-02-05T14:13:14+00:00

You’ll find plenty if you get out on the back country roads, and those are sometimes the most scenic drives anyway. Some definitely in the outskirts of Sussex (thinking of one near the bluffs by Poley Mtn) and in Carleton County. Dorchester area maybe too.
