    Something else just occurred to me, you might try the Dungeon Crawler Carl series by Matt Dinniman or This Quest is Broken series by J.P. Valentine too. They are a newer genre called LitRPG where the conventions of gaming (like things being “quests” or health/mana bars are directly apparent to the characters and it makes for some interesting moments.

    I don’t read a bunch of strict Horror, but I have enjoyed the ones I’ve read by Grady Hendrix.

    Otherwise, based on your answer, here are a few books I’ve read that line up for one reason or another. I’ve placed them in a specific order but they are all enjoyable:

    Kaiju Preservation Society by John Scalzi John Dies at the End by David Wong Dark Matter by Blake Crouch The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton This is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe by Charles Yu Echo Wife by Sarah Gailey
