context re: genre thoughts, 2014 novel "Annihilation"
on the first page of the first book of Jeff VanderMeer's Southern Reach Trilogy, the protagonist describes a tower that her group has come across
she explicitly calls it a tower
it has no aboveground component - it is a staircase descending into the earth
this is the kind of eldritch we're talking about

@packbat doesn't seem that weird to me honestly? it's still (presumably) a structure that's much larger vertically than horizontally, i could see calling it a tower
