Books that feature doppelgangers, doubles and other strange creatures that may want to take your place or impersonate you

Doppelganger stories usually explore themes of identity and fate. This list includes books from diverse genres, including but not limited to: horror, sci-fi, surrealism, and even a rom-com!

Welcome to the fascinating world of doppelganger literature 🧑‍🤝‍🧑

Horror books featuring sapphic characters and relationships!

Someone (or thing) that looks like you/someone you know and then often does some fucked up stuff is pretty scary imo
