And while we're on the subject. I, myself write short lovecraftian horror stories when I struggle with writing my novel.
After watching the film A Scanner Darkly, I decided to buy the book, but I'm currently working through Caliban's War, book 2 of James S. A. Corey's Expanse series.

I don't even dare to read the original stories in English T__T (Totally have to improve my English D: )

Having since finished Caliban's war, I'm now on the third book in the series Abaddon's Gate, as it stands I am hooked on the Expanse series, and as soon as I finish one book, I go out and by the next one in the series (all other reading material is currently on hold.)
I'm getting Binti, an Afrocentric scifi novella and Trust Me, I'm Lying, an inside look at insidious forms of marketing, for my birthday... but they're already here, so I might read them before ;V . I'm really looking forward to both. In case you haven't forgotten him, an old RMN member named Orig/Bryan Cebulski wrote a review of Binti here: https://bryanonion.com/2016/02/02/sumiko-saulsons-black-women-in-horror-writing-7-nnedi-okorafor/

The novella is an interesting concept, my ears pricked up at System Shock 2, something I am madly in love with, but then my attention was lost with 'coming-of-age', I've got nothing against teen/young adult fiction, and while there are a few exceptions, it just isn't my cup of tea.

While searching through my books filled wardrobe (hey, I need to put them somewhere! xD) I found a book I loved some years ago. So I read it again and I'm still fascinated by this story. Though it is quite unpopular I think.

It's about a city somewhere faaar away in the future, where everyone is happy and lives a great live. But a boy accidentally ends up outside of the city. And he discoveres that there is a whole world outside and that he and everyone else was just so happy all the time cause a giant computer erased all bad thoughts and all thoughts of the outer world.
But Sig (the boy) can't return. He is condemned to be completely erased, if he comes near the city. (Cause it's forbidden to be outside of it)
And so he explores this strange and unknown outside world. He discovers what real feelings are and tries to trick the computer to free the people in the city.
It's a very unique book. I can't compare it to any other one. It's somehow Sci-Fi. But most of the time you are outside of this Sci-Fi World and it is mere a memory. And the outside is nearly ancient untouched...
I can totally recommend it to everyone. It has a young protagonist, but it is defiantly not a children or youth book. (IMO) And the topic is super interesting.
But it seems that there is no English translation of the book! D: That's a shame!

That book, sounds to me a lot like The City and The Stars by Arthur C. Clarke, well the concept does anyways, from your brief synopsis it surely differs in the finer details. I might give it a read, after I finished the Expanse series.
What am I reading? Pyramid_Head's post~
Haha~
Ahem...... I've been reading 'Bullfinch's Mythology: Age of Fables' and also his 'Age of Chivalry' books.
I'm not as good at reading as I used to be. It seems the only thing I can sit down and read are folk and fairy tales.

I was in my local library today, and came across a book called 'The Madness of Cthulhu', I like me some Lovecraft, so I thought I'd skim through one of the short stories in it. First story, first page "HE DREAMED OF TENTACLES" I closed the book, put it back on the shelf, and left without paying my fee for an already overdue book.
Forgive my ranting, but Lovecraftian horror isn't always about tentacles and slimy things. And that to me seems to be the point everyone seems to be missing with Cthulhu.
