Looking for more surreal/weird/quirky recommendations (lemmy.world)

I have a decent library filled with authors like Palahniuk, Ryu and Haruki Murakami, Vonnegut, P. K. Dick, and Thompson.

I'm looking for more modern/contemporary authors who share that absurdism, surrealism, and just plain weirdness.

Annihilation along with the other books in the Southern Reach series certainly qualify as surreal and weird.
