All sorts of stories about all sorts of women and girls.
This is a genre-agnostic mega-list of weird girl* fiction expanding on an original list by @yarnandbooks (no longer being updated). You can view the original list here: (link) /// As a nonbinary person, I take as broad a view as possible of the "girl" in "weird girl*", hence the asterisk.

the bad child
these are stories that feature children and their coming of age stories in which they are being treated like 'the bad child', as if they're bad seed, spoiled grain, or sometimes even as if they're of the devil. the horrors of childhood are a central theme.
i've decided to only feature literary fiction, some speculative fiction or autofictional titles, and against including horror or fantasy. recs always welcome!! ♥
