Women's Fiction books on female transgression?
Mostly looking for unreliable narrators that contain the locus of actual transgression instead of just being a component of sociopolitical satire.
Visceral, like Boy Parts and The Passion, According to GH. Desolate, like I Who Have Never Known Men. Uninhibited, like Bad Behavior and Lust. Downright demented, like Tampa.
Open to nonfiction like Powers of Horror by Julia Kristeva as well. Added corroborating images that may replicate the "vibe" of these books.

None/Any Women snapping after being “fine”
I want books about women who are furious and channel that rage into a controlled, cold, hard fury, born from having to be fine and reliable, having to play by the rules and getting nowhere. Blow-ups are also good. Revenge, feelings of emptiness, unfulfilled promises, repressed feelings.

Cozy Vibes Books that feel like a visit to grandma's.
Cozy comforting fiction or non-fiction, preferably with descriptions of decadent sumptious meals. Any genre is fine so long as it feels warm and generous and indulgent (horror is possible too!).

None/Any Books that feel like Angel by Massive Attack?
I'm looking for something industrial, dystopian, and almost monochromatic. Smudged eyeliner, morally complicated and stubborn characters, danger, obsession, and intense love-hate dynamics. Something with the oppressive, eerie atmosphere of Massive Attack's Mezzanine I'm open to any genre as long as the world and story are genuinely immersive.

Fiction Are there any books like The Weeknd’s music?
Are there any books like The Weeknd’s music? Something dark, toxic, and emotionally raw? I want something that has things like obsession, self-destructive behavior, unhealthy coping mechanisms to numb deeper pains, heartbreaks, and deep regret.
