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.

The Laundry Files by Charles Stross are explicitly Lovecraftian and somewhat weird, though not as weird as any I've read by China Miéville. I also recommend one of Charles Stross' short stories called A Colder War.
