don't have any specific book in mind but i recommend the famous author edgar allan poe. also based on what you wrote, h.p lovecraft could be of your interest. i have only read small extracts of his stories for school work but i know he has lots of fans. also, personal recommendation anything sherlock holmes hehe :3
Got a gift card for books but I don't have a book in mind atm. Would love some of your favs and even some recs.
Typically I like fantasy, no smut, not heavy on the romance, mystery is fun to read, action is great. Some books I quite like is 'Six of Crows', 'The song of Achilles' and 'The Twist of a Knife' -Anthony Horowitz.
I'm always open to other genres, just not smut I don't think I can hide it from my parents
