A Morbid Taste for Bones by Ellis Peters
A cozy, medieval whodunnit centering on Benedictine monk, Brother Cadfael.
Septology by Jon Fosse
A hypnotic, bleak, stream-of-consciousness novel about grief, sobriety, faith. And the main character has a doppleganger with exactly the same name. Not confusing at all.
The Stone Door by Leonora Carrington
A surreal, freaky little book filled with eggs, dolls, goats, blood-oaths, myth, folklore, and love.
