Spurred from this post, I thought it would be a good idea to have an official r/WeirdLit reading list on Goodreads and Storygraph (similar to r/Horrorlit's Goodread list). Or, you can use this thread as the list (found below) itself so you don't have to use an account for Goodreads and Storygraph.

The r/Weirdlit lists have been made: Goodreads / Storygraph, though WIP. People can vote for books on the Goodreads list!

So, which weird lit books do you think are required reading or what ones would you recommend to someone looking to start their venture into the Weird?
