One fandom nominated this year that's in an IF format/IF-adjacent is Netflix's Black Mirror: Bandersnatch (2018), a choice-based branching story originally scripted in Twine, conveyed in the format of streaming video with selectable path options. It's a psychological horror story about a young man trying to adapt an allegedly cursed gamebook into a computer game in 1980s Britain, with mixed results. It's streaming on Netflix and if anybody's curious but would like content warnings/spoilers, let me know.

Fandom 1: The Little Stranger - Sarah Waters (Roderick Ayres, Caroline Ayres)
Fandom 2: Mary Reilly - Valerie Martin (Mary Reilly)
Fandom 3: AMC's The Terror (Cornelius Hickey)
Fandom 4: The Turn Of The Screw - Henry James (Miles, Flora)
Anything else: I'm familiar with pretty much all the major IF formats (parser-based, Twine, visual novels, gamebooks/CYOA, etc.) -- I have almost no experience with visual novels and likely won't get the full benefit of anything in that format but anything else is fair game. I especially love IF that's set in a single location (the different rooms of a house, for instance) or dealing with horror/mystery themes, but I'm hopeless at classic-IF-style puzzles, so if you love elaborate puzzles I'd love a cheat-sheet for my dense self.
