Mentioned by Katie Kitamura as an example of a book where the moment of horror is when something familiar becomes unrecognizable, referencing a scene in Hill House where the character sees a part of the house she shouldn't be able to see.
Katie Kitamura's 'Audition' is a puzzle, but she says it's not meant to be solved
