hungry women
these books use (literal) hunger as a political tool to speak to womenโs oppression, repression and desire, whether through overt cannibal metaphor, speculative dispatches, or more subtle nuances of appetite in literary fiction. these women are hungry for something more, whether theyโre allowed to act on it or not.
recommendations welcome!

the monstrous-feminine
in the first edition of โthe monstrous-feminineโ, barbara creed challenges the dominant representation of women in horror films as victims, arguing that patriarchal ideology constructs women as monstrous because of their sexuality (or lack thereof).
later, creed reinterprets the monstrous-feminine as a being who embraces her body and reclaims her otherness. in line with this contemporary vision, these are books which use horror to redefine notions of โwomanhoodโ.
recommendations welcome!

weird โgirlโ lit for dirtbag queers
these books are both aligned with and offer a queering of โweird girl literatureโ, a genre that manipulates horror, dark comedy, and/or surrealist elements to excavate the internal world of complex and unconventional characters. they are deviant, daring, and perverse reads for the weird queers among us.
*girl in quotation marks to allow this list to extend beyond the binary. recommendations welcome!
