There Is No Antimemetics Division by qntm.
There Is No Antimemetics Division by qntm is a twisty, mind-bending, sci-f novel, that follows the director of a secret government agency that deals with impossible, reality-altering, entities.
It’s the best example of this kind of ontological horror you’re looking for that I can think of. Entities that are hiding all around us that make you forgot you ever saw or knew about them… It’s packed full of clever ideas and is some of the most creative and unsettling modern horror writing.
