Hey, /sffg/ are there any good sci-fi/fantasy books that have a compelling, horrible truth about their universe revealed. Some inconceivable horror that floors the beings in this world. For example, in the "Five Characters in Search of an Exit" twilight zone episode when the viewers finds out that they're just dolls in a bucket and I just loved that feeling of existential dread it gave me at the end.

I had this thought as an ant walked across my desk and how I had no empathy for it. And how it probably had no idea how unbelievable complex my world was in comparison to its. Yea, so I'm basically looking for realization of insignificance or something like that. I hope this made sense.

I just saw "The Cabin in the Woods" and now I'm left wanting a better story with ancient horrors that isn't so camp and silly. I'm not sure what this genre is called but I'm looking for a story where humans encounter beings or a force that they cannot fathom and they're terrorized by the unknown. Basically I'm looking for something that me feel small and insignificant.
