Nice thread find!
I read "We Have Always Lived in the Castle" by Shirley Jackson around Halloween this year, and it really spooked me. She wrote it in 1962, 3 years before her death and at a time in her life when she was extremely agoraphobic and not leaving her house, which plays a big part in the story. The book really drew me in, it was unlike anything else I've read.
The best scifi I've read recently was "The Three Body Problem" by Liu Cixin. Chinese historical/science fiction. It won the hugo award in 2015. It's got video games and computers and murder and aliens and science and secret chinese military bases on clifftops and all sorts of shit.
