Recs if you like They Were Here Before Us: A Novella in Pieces...

horror books with a queer focus, including queer stories and central characters

Shorter books (under 200 pages) that are part of at least one quest. Many are also in the public domain, making them easily accessible when you want to grind for that next badge.

Short story, essays, comics, and/or poetry collections focusing on queer and trans folks. Please note: there are some collections listed where not every story is queer, but there is intersectionality, and since that is important, I have included them.

Horror recs for the weird sapphic girly pops

Weird Fiction Starter Pack

Let the animals tell the story! I am trying to be as comprehensive as possible with the exception of children’s books, graphic novels and comics (too many to list!)-although there are some. The list is inclusive of the Animal POV main quest and the Cat POV side quest.

Thrillers and horror books with a family setting. This list focuses on relationships between siblings, parent and child etc.

Weird queer titles including (but not limited to one or all): nature components, body horror, horror and/or fantasy. General / adult fiction mostly

I have read most of these titles

In progress/ updated over time Recommendations welcome!!

Because who doesn’t love birds?? Fiction and non-fiction books all featuring birds prominently on the cover. This is what I spend my time thinking about 😭

All genres, all demographics, all furries. (Some of these have a bite, please research contents warnings)

Queer horror/unease. No vampires, they have a list for themselves✌️

Emphasis on "Queer."

Horror that depicts queer relationships and/or has queer main characters.

Includes narratives with queer characters that are not all morally good and may be considered "problematic" at times. A reminder that to be queer does not absolve one of the faults of being human.

Heavy emphasis on character exploration through pleasant to odd to grotesque narratives.

Includes splatterpunk books that are not for the faint of heart.

Includes books I personally do and don't love.
