I'm running out of books I love /lit/, it's getting hard to find anything that I really want to read
I need something that makes me feel like
Kafka, Borges, Bruno Schulz, Spanish Magical realism, Alfanhui, Gustav Meyrink, Milan Kundera, Haruki Murakami, maybe Vonnegut and PKD
pic related, more like this, thanks in advance
the plains - gerald murnane

Gilbert Hernandez, the Palomar stories from Love and Rockets
E. R. Eddison
Saki, Lord Dunsany
Horror, e.g. M. R. James and H. P. Lovecraft

I'm guessing you've already seen this chart?
I loved Alfanhui as well. I thought it was nearly perfect.

That book in particular is why I made this thread, hadn't read anything that great in a while and I know there have to be some more one off writers that can write that kind of magical realism so well that I've missed
I think I'll check out Opium, never been dissapointed by 'Writers from the other Europe'
Barthelme, Bolano

One I found a bit similar that you might not have heard of is The Wooden Throne by Carlo Sgorlon.
I wish I could fine more in this style too.

The Worm Ouroboros is his best, to be honest.
Elizabethan fantasy, rather than Medieval fantasy a la Tolkien/Martin. It's surprising, actually, that so few fantasy writers have gone there recently.
Once you get past the pastiche language, it's a great read and many of the characters and scenes are very compelling.
How about some Julio Cortázar?
