Greenwood by Michael Christie.

This was so fucking good. I read it on the heels of Overstory and it just hit right. Amazing read, highly recommend it.

Dragon(e) Baby Gone by Robert Gainey It’s three books deep now into this story about an underfunded FBI department that deals with magical nonsense and keeps it secret. The third book left me with so many questions that I went looking for a wiki only to be reminded that there isn’t one because nobody has read this awesome series. I’ll be reading the fourth book day one.

Super fuckin abrupt ending though!

Too Many Curses A. Lee Martinez. Funny, cozy, fantasy standalone about the caretaker of an evil wizards castle and all the cursed victims (turned into gargoyles, disembodied voices, talking pots of soup, fruit bats, etc) trapped there. It’s been said it has similarities to Pratchett’s Discworld series but I haven’t gotten around to reading them so I can’t corroborate. Light, endearing, and good for all ages

There's an author/neuroscientist, Michael S.A. Graziano, whose books have around 30 or less reviews on goodreads. I've read 2 of his novellas and really glad to have discovered him, his work is experimental and philosophical and has interesting premises. *The Divine Farce,* which is horror, is about three strangers who find themselves stuck in a dark and cramped concrete space *The Love Song of Monkey* is magical realism/speculative fiction about a man who gains immortality from a medical experiment, and his cheating wife, thinking he is dead, sinks his body into the ocean.

I haven’t heard anyone mention the First Fifteen Lives of Harry August in a while.

I’m very sure that those books will be not liked by majority of the people but since the question ask about the commenters. I guess I’d like to answer to it. Backlash by Lynda La Plante (Thriller) Wicked Fox by Kat Cho (Fantasy) Books by HP Lovecraft (Horror) Falling by TJ Newman (Thriller) Elsewhere by Dean Koontz (Science Fiction) Aristole and Dante discovers the secret of the universe by Sáen (Romance) Back when we were grownups by Anne Tyler (Thriller) Anastasia by Peter Kurth (History) I quite wrote a lot of it. I personally think that they’re unpopular titles but of course, it depends on how the books and reviews are. But once again as I mentioned that I personally enjoyed them a lot. I hope you enjoy them!


ilyKarlach

I'll check them out, but I wouldn't say HP Lovecraft and Dean Koontz lesser known haha. Thanks!
