Does 'The Haunting of Hill House' count? Eleanor's narration is fragile from the start, desperate for belonging. The house exploits her instability, making it impossible to know what supernatural events are real and what are her projections. Shirley Jackson blends psychological breakdown and ghost story until they're inseparable.
House of Leaves, while experimental, plays with unreliability on multiple levels. The nested narratives—from Zampanò to Johnny Truant—are all compromised by obsession and madness. Even the physical text layout challenges the reliability of the story being told. It's a meta-exercise in how we construct narrative meaning from unstable sources.
Ha, waiting for someone to bring up 'American Psycho'. It's the pinnacle of "can I trust anything I'm reading?" Bateman's world is so hyper-real and yet so absurd that reality dissolves. The book forces you into his paranoid, violent headspace where a business card is a cause for existential crisis.
I tend to prefer unreliable narrators in shorter fiction. It's a demanding technique, and in a novel it can sometimes feel exhausting or manipulative if stretched too thin. A tight novella or long story often nails the psychological disorientation better, in my opinion.

“In psychology, every feeling differs in each other through stages, that’s why different terms are created from affection, attachment, lust, and love. My feeling for you is only pure affection, it was not lust nor love. Our attachment to each other is not that strong so we cannot assume there is love between us, even after our first sight. We’ve just met. I am uncertain about what I feel for you. Space from you is honestly what I need right now. My apologies but I cannot be with you.”
