Raccoon Gang (raccoongang) | 1 comments Hii, I’m new here and was wondering if anyone would recommend any sci-fi books that has a similar vibe to the SCP foundation? Not sure if that’s too much to ask for or not.

But if so, sci-fi horror books will suffice for now :)

I had to look up what SCP foundation was, and now I second your request for nominations. Reading through the wiki is strongly giving me Control vibes (referring to the videogame, which I loved and highly recommend if you haven't played it) and I am definitely going to be following this thread for hopeful recs.

Nicole (Nerdish.Maddog) (nerdishmaddog) | 113 comments I also had to look up what SCP foundation was, so my recommendations may miss the mark, but it kind of seems like it would vibe with Annihilation,Intercepts, The Anomaly, Queen of Teeth and Obscura.
Thomas Olde Heuvelt writes fantasy horror that has a secret organization that looks into/contains the paranormal with his books Hex and Oracle
I hope these help?

Michelle (michellehartline) | 3171 comments I started reading a scifi horror book called Paradise-1 but quit because I'm a sissy. I hadn't realized that it had a lot of horror elements when I started it. By the time I stopped there were some very creepy vibes going on within the story.

Becky (beckyofthe19and9) | 1894 comments S, your book must be SO amazing since it can apparently fit EVERY recommendation request regardless of genre throughout multiple groups.

THIS group (and my own) have rules against self-promotion. IE: Don't.

Anna (vegfic) | 10435 comments Thanks Becky! :)

Reminder to everyone that it's against the group's rules to promote your own work outside of the Authors' folder.

Kaladin | 127 comments I hadn't heard of SCP foundation either but it looks interesting!
Sci-fi horror wise I'd recommend The Last Astronaut and Annihilation.
The Atrocity Archives part of the Laundry Files by Charles Stross could also work for you.
I've also come across http://www.shadowunit.org/. A collective storytelling project. Known authors like Elizabeth Bear have contributed to it.


colleen the convivial curmudgeon (blackrose13) | 2717 comments Hubs is an SCP fan, and here're some recs from him:

House of Leaves
14
There Is No Antimemetics Division - which is an actual SCP novel

Bookburners by Max Gladstone et al is like this but Vatican, Shadow Unit by Emma Bull et al is like this but more American

Michelle (michellehartline) | 3171 comments Does the Liaden Universe fit? If so, they're written by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller.
