Recs if you like Final Girls...

There will be no one breasting boobily anywhere here.

Some criteria:

• women characters should be multidimensional with their own goals, agendas, and flaws
• the main character should be a woman, and there should be at least one other female character who is significant to the plot
• women characters’ role should not be defined solely by her relationship to a man
• author is a cis man
• one book per author

Let’s hold male authors to a higher standard because it is possible.

no matter what happens, there will be books with neon-text-on-a-dark-background covers and they will be thrillers.

For the girlies that like their horror with a side of glitter!
