The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman: what to read next, and why.

Coraline Neil Gaiman 2002 · Fantasy Same author, a more directly spooky and younger story with a plucky protagonist.
Piranesi Susanna Clarke 2020 · Fantasy A hushed, odd fantasy with a similar dreamlike feel and very little exposition.
The Lovely Bones Alice Sebold 2002 · Literary Another story told partly through a child's eyes that treats death and memory gently but frankly.
