Recs if you like Lute...

if you like tma, some are just vibes, some actual entities

All the towns or cities in these books deserve a detour. Some probably even a quarantine. From bizarre creatures to cosmic weirdness to simmering malevolence to just plain human absurdity, these stories have it all. If you can’t keep driving, just remember, don’t drink the water

if you’re craving something that feels like the next martha’s vineyard (iykyk)! books that evoke the same feeling as the magnificent tv show ‘widows bay’

Fiction and nonfiction books about cults, survivors, and influence.

Horror, thrillers, and mysteries where "island escape" doesn't mean a nice vacation

I’m insanely obsessed with Widow’s Bay and I want to read some books with similar vibes once the season is over, so I figured I’d make this list! The books listed are recommendations I’ve gathered from Instagram, Reddit, etc, but I’d love some more recommendations!

This is a list of horror books written by women, as recommended by Sadie Hartmann (Mother Horror) in her book Feral and Hysterical. I highly recommend that you pick up a copy of Feral and Hysterical because it is so much more than a list of books. There are more lists of books, but also thoughtful essays by women writers. It's worth spending some time with Feral and Hysterical.

"Women are overqualified to write fictional horror. Period." -- Sadie Hartmann
