Recs if you like It Came from the Closet: Queer Reflections on Horror...

Non-fiction about horror, those is the horror industry, horror-adjacent subjects, and down-right terrifying books.

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 go past the July start date and match at least one of these title prompts: Periodic Table, Familial Terms, Rainbow of Words (also Joseph's coat), Numerical Titles, Titular Counting 5+, Pun in the Title, and First & Last Name in the Title. Recommendations welcome!

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.

memoirs, anthologies, graphic novels etc. - anything goes as long as it's nonfiction about the trans & queer experience

Creepy books made better because there are queer characters

A list of anthologies focusing on LGBTQ+ representation. :)

Nonfiction books about the mechanics, psychology, and other aspects of the horror genre.
