Wide definition of horror | story collections included if at least one was written by an Indigenous author | mostly authors from Turtle Island (North America)

Stories centering Womxn, Two Spirit folk, and Queerz+ from Turtle Island and beyond. Currently making my way through the list and would love more suggestions! Happy reading my fellow book worms :)

These Diverse Baseline Challenge was created by @bookish.millennial & @themargherita.s (on instagram). In 2025, the goal is to read 1 book by a racialized author each month. This challenge is meant to encourage readers to try genres they historically don’t reach for, find new-to-them racialized authors, and to encourage reflection on our reading habits.

This is a mix of recommendations by the challenge organizers and myself.

I work in Tribal Libraries and I try to read a lot of Indigenous Lit

A few of my favorite titles as a horror newbie myself!
