I am looking for books similar to "At the Mountains of Madness" by H.P. Lovecraft(ive pretty much read everything from lovecraft), "Eversion" by Alastair Reynolds, "Das Eulentor" by Alexander Gruber (dont know if this book ever released in another language), "The Hollow Places" by T. Kingfisher, I also tried reading "Ascension" by Nicholas Binge but it wasnt really to my taste. Hope you have some ideas. thx in advance

Ive read some Clive Barker (Book of blood) and I didnt like most of his stories, but I will check your suggestions out regardless.

I am the only person I know who absolutely hates Clive Barker's short stories, but loves his long fiction.

Well I certainly dont hate them, but I often felt like they where written just for shock value to gain attention and make the books more popular.
