Enjoy weird fiction overall, sci-fi and "horror" (in a very general sense). I like some Lovecraft, VanderMeers, Ballard, China Miéville, Samanta Schweblin, late William Gibson, Mariana Enríquez... what recent books or writers caught your eye that may loosely fit the term or are similar to works of the above authors? Can be in English, Portuguese or Spanish.

I can only recommend the books of Nick Harkaway, very China Miéville-like. I started with the Gone Away world. In Spanish I recently read 'te di ojos y miraste las tinieblas' by Solà. 'El último día de la vida anterior' by Andrés Barba also gave me some Mariana Enríquez vibes. Finally, 'the seven moons of Maali Almeida' (this was nominated for the Booker prize iirc) was also a blast, made me think of Pedro Páramo at times.
