Witches, Weirdos & Other Women of Taste
A little feral, a little fashionable, and wholly uninterested in being understood. From housewives who fall in love with sea creatures to grandmothers who commune with the cosmos. These stories are eccentricity, rebellion, and taste.

Weird Women of the Late 20th Century (1945-2001)
Lives of outsiders rendered in sharp prose style. Descendants of Shelley, the Brontes, and Woolf; forebears to 'Weird Girl Lit'. Title refers to the authors, the subjects of the work may not always be women. Focused on novels published between WW2 and 9/11, with a few memoirs and short story collections.

Romancing Things That Are Not Human
Sort of another take on "weird girl lit", these are some books where people are in love/obsessed with/somehow involved with a thing that isnt Human. From monsters to corpses to literal planes, in some way, someone is trying to be in a romantic relationship with a thing. Not necessarily romances.
