I like oddly specific non-fiction (about objects, towns or animals, for example), interesting biographies, essays, and travel writing that feels almost like literary fiction. Regarding fiction, I love introspective/psychological prose, stories that are very evocative even if not much happens plot-wise. I'm also always on the lookout for modern plays and poetry with these characteristics. My favorite authors are Oscar Wilde, Samuel Beckett, Gabriel García Márquez, Jane Austen, Dorothy Parker and Yukio Mishima. Mishima has this amazing short story called Onnagata, which I think sums up almost everything I love. I'm not very interested in thrillers or paranormal, unless it's magical realism/gothic and has a point beyond just the mystery. I like fairy tales and fairy tale-inspired works, especially if they get really dark. Like Angela Carter's The Bloody Chamber stories. García Márquez's "I only came to use the phone" and Daniel Kehlmann's F is the sort of weird and dark stuff I love.
