Samanta Schewblin is an author from Argentina. Her novella Fever Dreams is great. It can be and should be read in one sitting. Her (surreal) horror collection Mouthful of Birds is also amazing.

Stephen Graham Jones is Native American. His book The Only Good Indians is amazing.

Kazuo Ishiguro wrote one of the most devastating books I've read, Never Let Me Go.

I wasn't a huge fan of Mouthful of Birds, it was just too weird for me, and I usually like weird. I was not in a great place mentally when I read it, though, so maybe I should try another of her books.

I've only read one Stephen Graham Jones book, and I can't think of the name of it right now, but I liked it. I definitely need to read more of his stuff.

Never Let Me Go just pissed me off because it was so depressing.

Surreal horror is my favorite kind to read. Maybe not to watch though.

If you haven't already, check out The Changeling, by Victor LaValle. I haven't seen the TV version.

I have it (and several of his books) on my libby lists. I'll move it up as my next to read!

LaValle's Lone Women was also amazing
