* The eponymous bookshop in ''Podcast/TheBookshopSkunk'' breaks all manner of conventional reality in some way or another. It's BiggerOnTheInside to the point of having multiple biomes in it and possibly even going on ''forever'', it extends into other dimensions & points in time, and it's likely a GeniusLoci as well. There's also the fact that it can [[ForcedTransformation transform those who enter it into different forms]], and if a person owns it for long enough then [[TouchedByVorlons they can be imbued with magical powers]], as is the case with its current owner Oreo. It's theorized that the bookshop's magical nature may stem from it being built on top of ''another'' Eldritch Location, a magical layline deep beneath the ground, but this is only one theory.

** A PlaceBeyondTime is this by its very nature.
** An EldritchStarship can easily be an Eldritch Location with a hyperdrive.

Comment out a Zero Context Example. Big dark location is very normal in wilderness or even rural area, there's nothing eldritch about that. I would remove the example as misuse if it isn't for "no light source work" bit.


** While most of the Backrooms levels are eldritch, they're nothing compared to level 6: [[DarknessEqualsDeath Lights Out]], where you are trapped in pitch black halls, with no idea how big the level is due to how dark it is, and you start encountering Insanities and hallucinations. Oh, and no light sources you have will work on this level.

This... didn't turn out well, and the site ended up in the main Foundation universe in a heavily damaged state. The spatial topography of the place is unstable, so you might suddenly find a wall where there used to be a corridor. The physical structure of the place is ''also'' unstable, so you might suddenly have the floor collapse underneath your feet. Then there's the creatures wandering around, like an entity that draws [[BrownNote cognitohazards]] on the walls, and the leeches that forcibly enter people's bodies to take control of them. The last we see of the place, it's shifted into another reality during a brawl between a god, the archangel Uriel and a giant leech-thing, all of which were imprisoned there.
** [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-1936 SCP-1936]] is Daleport, a small town in the northeast United States. Atleast until an ApocalypseCult decided to host a DivineConflict for several demons to free-for-all against each other. Now the air is thick with fog and the buildings bleed ashes.

It can only be accessed via various alchemical methods, and appears to be a PortalCrossroadWorld, though not to the same extend as the Library. Time spent there feels like a dream, randomly sped up and slowed down, and it's ruled over by the Hanged King, with the implication that he's nothing more than a puppet to the Ambassador of Alagadda.

* In ''Literature/TheDionaeaHouse'', the titular "dionaea house".
* ''Literature/GreenAntarctica'': The glacier at the center of the continent is seen as one by the Tsalal, one so evil that they refuse to give it a name. While their entire culture [[SnowMeansDeath fears the color white]], it goes beyond just that. The glacier is the size of a country and half a mile thick. The dry, chilled air above it is unnaturally lit by the sun and carries sounds differently, giving it the feeling that reality is warped by its very presence. The entire thing moans and creaks as fissures open up and water erupts outward. Its edges expand and retreat like the pseudopods of a vast amoeba. There are times when the winds will trigger a sudden torrent of frigid air that splashes outward and kills everything in its path. The Tsalal cultures alternatively view it as the source of all death and suffering, hell, the abode of the gods, or even a sleeping god itself. What they can all agree on is that, when it awakens, it will bring about the end of all worlds.

** The place itself can be described as what would happen if Franchise/SilentHill were designed by Creator/SidAndMartyKrofftProductions , with whimsical inhabitants (An anthropomorphic hamburger chef made of rotting meat and a man-sized bacteriopage doctor with glasses and a bow-tie being the most prominent) who do horrible; horrible things to the people stuck in their realms...
** And, as a bonus, [[Website/{{Bogleech}} the creator]] has said that it's not anything as banal as another planet or another dimension, but rather something humankind has no context whatsoever for. He compared trying to explain the reason why it exists to explaining to a Pilgrim the concept of a WebAnimation/YouTubePoop without explaining computers, videos or electricity.
* ''WebOriginal/ProtectorsOfThePlotContinuum'' has Headquarters, an unimaginably huge building located in the space between worlds that the PPC calls home. It's constructed from {{metafiction}}al materials like {{Plot Hole}}s and "concrit" ([[{{Pun}} concrete made from constructive criticism]]) and a portal to it exists in one specific location in each world of TheMultiverse, usually an extremely innocuous one nobody would check if they weren't specifically looking for it. Its most famous feature is that, as a defense against attacks, it's impossible to ''intentionally'' find your destination within it; PPC agents are well trained to "switch off" their minds whilst trying to get from one part of the building to another, something the simple brains of Sues are incapable of. A RunningGag in the stories is that it supposedly has a pool, but nobody, whether intentionally or not, has ever been able to find it.

There's also [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-093 the "Red Sea Object"]], which takes people into an alternate universe where [[spoiler:"a god-like being of unknown origin" instigated a massive holy war hundreds of years ago, with apocalyptic results, and now giant, immortal UncannyValley monsters roam the land, absorbing anyone who catches their attention]].
** According to [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/exploratory-mission-354-alpha this tale]], [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-354 SCP-354]] leads to a world like this. Days last 43 1/2 hours, the sun is bright red, and the laws of physics don't seem to be consistent. Compasses shift daily and liquid water exists alongside liquid carbon dioxide. And there's also [[spoiler: the heavy implication that the world can erase people from existence.]]
** [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-1372 SCP-1372]] is an anomalous stretch of ocean. For anyone moving across it going from west to east, it seems normal. Moving from east to west, though, it'll seem like they've come to the [[WaterfallIntoTheAbyss edge of the world]]. The closer they get, the more of a compulsion they'll have to continue on over the edge, at which point they'll disappear from sight and all tracking software. [[spoiler: Occasionally, ships and even planes that have vanished in the area have returned, able to move despite being so damaged that it should be impossible, and try to convince others to go over the edge. One of whom is heavily implied to be ''Ferdinand Magellan.'']]
** [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-1730 SCP-1730]], or Site-13, is a Foundation site from an alternate universe where anomalies were experimented on and executed via incineration. This... didn't turn out well, and the site ended up in the main Foundation universe in a heavily damaged state. The spatial topography of the place is unstable, so you might suddenly find a wall where there used to be a corridor. The physical structure of the place is ''also'' unstable, so you might suddenly have the floor collapse underneath your feet. Then there's the creatures wandering around, like an entity that draws [[BrownNote cognitohazards]] on the walls, and the leeches that forcibly enter people's bodies to take control of them. The last we see of the place, it's shifted into another reality during a brawl between a god, the archangel Uriel and a giant leech-thing, all of which were imprisoned there.
** [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-1936 SCP-1936]] is Daleport, a small town in the northeast United States. Atleast until an ApocalypseCult decided to host a DivineConflict for several demons to free-for-all against each other. Now the air is thick with fog and the buildings bleed ashes.
** [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-2264 Alagadda]] is a city located in some sort of pocket dimension or world between worlds. It can only be accessed via various alchemical methods, and appears to be a PortalCrossroadWorld, though not to the same extend as the Library. Time spent there feels like a dream, randomly sped up and slowed down, and it's ruled over by the Hanged King, with the implication that he's nothing more than a puppet to the Ambassador of Alagadda.
** [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-2922 Corbenic]] is another anomalous alternate world. It is said to be ''an'' afterlife, and it has three "moons" hanging in the sky... each of which is an alternate Earth that has somehow been absorbed entirely into the realm. The descriptions of what happens to people in various regions within Corbenic are... disturbing, especially since the victims cannot die.
--->'''SCP-2922-B'''[[note]]A woman who entered Corbenic after death but was still able to contact the Foundation[[/note]]: This is not Heaven, not Hell, not Purgatory... this is the final exam.
** {{Averted|Trope}} with [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-3008 SCP-3008]]. It's just [[TitleDrop a perfectly normal, old IKEA]] with over 10,000 km of aisles, faceless zombie-like employees made out of countless layers of skin, numerous factions of people from across the multiverse MacGyvering for their survival... [[SarcasmMode y'know, an average IKEA store.]]
** [[http://www.scpwiki.com/scp-3930 SCP-3930]] is a region of pure nonexistence. Somehow, it does not have any size or border, but it is at a fixed location on Earth and people and beings can "enter" it, which makes them cease to exist as well. YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm is in full effect, people and even electronic recordings just see it as more if its surroundings as part of the mind's attempt to see patterns where there are none going in to overdrive. [[spoiler:The same "attempt to see patterns" also causes hostile beings called Pattern Screamers to form, which are nonexistent as well but self-aware at the same time and hate their borderline extant/nonextant state of being. The void itself does not make them, peoples' minds do. The only known way to stop that from happening is to have the total existing number of those aware of SCP-3930 not exceed ten.]]
* ''Literature/TheSickLand'' revolves around such a location. The titular Sick Land is a massive patch of land where strange plant life grows; people and animals that stay there for too long suffered bizarre, incurable, and fatal mutations and sickness. [[spoiler: Later it's revealed to be ''spreading'' at a slow rate, corrupting the land around it.]]
* Wiki/TVTropes:
** The SugarBowl is a strange form of this. It may be depicted as a genuinely nice place, or as it was in the article. However, there's no denying that a place with licorice trees and structurally sound buildings of candy would belong here.
** The ClownCarBase also fits this trope in a way, especially when the trope is {{lampshade|Hanging}}d, revealing it to be not just a perspective oddity, but a genuine physically disproportionate building.
** A LevelAte is a place where terrain is GiantFood, often a humorous version of this sort of thing.
** Many {{Lost World}}s are this in a nutshell.
** A DarkWorld can function as an Eldritch Location when it's explicitly evil or "wrong", but a few morality neutral Dark Places are natural "night side" reality counterparts to our own.
** A PlaceBeyondTime is this by its very nature.
** An EldritchStarship can easily be an Eldritch Location with a hyperdrive.
* Prominently featured in [[http://wanderers-library.wikidot.com/the-tomb-war The Tomb War]] from ''Wiki/TheWanderersLibrary''.
* Sarah Waite's (yes, the last name is meaningful) dorm room at [[SuperheroSchool Whateley Academy]] in the ''Literature/WhateleyUniverse''. It's even ''called'' the Lovecraft Room.
* The Fineum Cuniculum from Wiki/TheWorldbuildProject probably qualifies. No one knows how it got there? Check. Mysterious engraving all down the walls of a three kilometer tunnel? Check. People randomly disappearing? Check.
* The eponymous bookshop in ''Podcast/TheBookshopSkunk'' breaks all manner of conventional reality in some way or another. It's BiggerOnTheInside to the point of having multiple biomes in it and possibly even going on ''forever'', it extends into other dimensions & points in time, and it's likely a GeniusLoci as well. There's also the fact that it can [[BalefulPolymorph transform those who enter it into different forms]], and if a person owns it for long enough then [[TouchedByVorlons they can be imbued with magical powers]], as is the case with its current owner Oreo. It's theorized that the bookshop's magical nature may stem from it being built on top of ''another'' Eldritch Location, a magical layline deep beneath the ground, but this is only one theory.
