I am looking for more horror recommendations, more specifically surreal horror or literary horror?

probably read Conspiracy first, then start with his fiction from the beginning, which is to say start with Songs of a Dead Dreamer then Grimscribe. his fiction gets more and more obscure and/or abstract as his writing career progressed, very interesting to experience the evolution of it. Teatro Grottesco is his most profoundly disturbing work in my opinion, but SoaDD it perhaps his most interesting and original, if for not other reason than because it introduces his unique style
but yea, TLDR, start with Conspiracy or pic related
