Recs if you like The Collector...

Based on the list/book published in 2006, general editor Peter Boxall.

If we are going to do Qwordy's the Hardest Reading Challenge You'll Ever Do 3.0 - we should probably get some Pagebound badges along the way! I'm specifically going to be adding books from Quests and readalongs that I think matches at least one of these cover prompts: craft, food, motion, biomes/landscapes, animals, weather.

Tier 2 from the disturbing novel iceberg, inspired by the disturbing movie iceberg.

More taboo themes, more gore, and books that stick with you long after reading.

Books written from the perspective of the perpetrator.

I will try to keep this list as spoiler-free as possible, meaning I will try to avoid books where you aren’t supposed to know the narrator is the perpetrator until the end.

Check your content and trigger warnings. Accepting recs 🔪🩸

“It’s like a car crash you just can’t look away from”

Books where the red flags are flashing from page one. You see the obsession forming, the moral line blurring, the disaster building — and you keep reading anyway. Slow spirals. Psychological rot. Inevitable collapse. Oh my!

Fixations and obsessions

Books where obsession and power dynamics are central themes.

books mentioned in Solitaire by Alice Oseman

For fans of Criminal Minds! This is a list of books mentioned/read by Dr. Spencer Reid.

weird girl lit

not all of these are romance. stories involving characters who lose it over love.

Books that feature characters being held captive, imprisoned, kidnapped, etc. If it is a series, only the first book is listed. Some may be captivity adjacent & added via recommendation.

A list with unreliable narrators, morally gray characters and uneasy feelings.

Not all are horror.

books that give off Saw vibes. puzzles, traps, blood and guts, moralistic serial killers, it's all here

If how Goldberg from 'you' had a booklist ;this would be it. He may be a killer and vaugely pretentious but he has a great book taste.(Stuff that's mentioned in the series too)

Unhinged fiction about art

Recs welcome!!

[Love and Deepspace]

Lighthearted charm hiding a subtle vein of obsession and devotion. From cozy whimsy to quietly dark fascination, these books capture Caleb's warmth and his more possessive tendencies.

So I don't forget about them, I am making list, am opened for more recommendations
