Recs if you like Bound in Flesh: An Anthology of Trans Body Horror...

Reading suggestions for the Trans Rights Readathon! (Any year of course). Books with trans characters of any label (or any non-cis gender identity) by trans/non-cis authors. I have not read all the books in this list. Feel free to name your fave books by trans authors in the comments!

A list of anthologies focusing on LGBTQ+ representation. :)

Queer horror (& thriller & some suspense) written by self-published and indie authors, many leaning erotic and/or religious 🔞

Recommendations welcome!

✦ I have not read all of these books - if you notice anything that seems to be mis-labeled/mis-placed on this list, please let me know! ✦

Horror and thriller stories that prominently feature trans characters, across age groups and sub-genres (including thrillers & slashers). 🔞

A set of (mostly genre) short story anthologies. A way to get a taste of a bunch of authors and styles all at once!

Mostly gay books that are dark or bloody or both! (Not finished yet!)

dismemberment, parasitic infection, medical transmutation... body horror truly has it all. when the horror lives inside you, when there's no external danger, what do you do? you can't run from the transformation you've undergone. body horror centers the unbecoming of who you are at your core and the subsequent changes on the outside.

Of course, this isn't the only recommendation list out there for the Trans Rights Readathon. I encourage everyone to check out all the different lists! This list is made up of books I've personally enjoyed, am currently reading, or plan to read (so this is pretty tailored, lol). I'll keep editing this list as I finish books and find more books I want to read. Everything here is either written by a trans author and/or features trans main characters/focuses on trans issues.

Anthologies of fiction or comics that are either specifically themed around or prominently feature queer characters, stories, or authors

Few things are as made for a queer lense as the theme of body horror. Here, you will find motifs of your body changing against your will, of having society view your very being as monstrous and "other". Happy reading!
