Recs if you like Hunger and Thirst...

an oddly specific trend i’ve noticed, mostly in genres like horror, weird girl, feminine rage, etc. (but there are some others here, too).

A genre-inclusive and diverse list of horror releases coming in 2026. If I missed any or you have suggestions, please let me know. I will update periodically as new books are announced and release dates are solidified.

Source for a lot of the data for this list came from readjumpscares.com, which is a website you should absolutely check out. I’m sure data will come from other places along the way, as well.

was curious, so did some research and found loads and loads!!! happy reading, folks!

Lit fic books to read for the aesthetic

All sorts of stories about all sorts of women. Mostly litfic, some horror.

It’s always nice to feel like a normal person by reading about those more unhinged than you 😌 These are all women focused books. Some I’ve read and some I’m going to read. Apologies in advance if it gets long. Recommendations are absolutely welcome!! So please feel free.

I know a couple are written by men which might be taboo for some but I’ve included because I thought they were appropriate or the author has a track record of writing women well.

Book recommendations from podcasts I listen to: NPR books, Book Reccos, What Should I Read Next?, Book Off, What Page Are You On?, Book Cheat

Suggestions from r/weirdgirlliterature that looked interesting

She’s strange. She’s unsettling. She’s becoming something else. And maybe the worst thing about her is that you understand her…

Books where the cover features only one person

Absolute chills... 😰 feel free to give recs to add!
