Time-Bending Fiction That Refuses to Explain Itself (8 books)

Books that don’t walk in straight lines.
If you liked This Is How You Lose the Time War, Piranesi, Dark, or Annihilation, this list is for you. These stories twist chronology, perception, and causality into new kinds of logic—some metaphysical, some poetic, all worth getting lost in.
