GAY FOREST HORROR
because @notbillnye (my goat) told me to, and inspired by @Alanna
(recs are welcome!)






๐ Summerween ๐ฑ
Spooky summer fun for all ages, from cute picture books with spooky elements, to creepy middle grade graphic novels, to teen + YA thrills, to adult-level gore and a sprinkling of erotic horror/dark romance. Books on this list have a heavy summer theme, either highlighting the season or taking place in settings like summer camps, fairgrounds, beaches, or water parks, and have some sort of creepy or scary element to them.

Queer Horror & Thriller
Is it bury your gays if they're all queer?






Feminist Horror
Sometimes queer, sometimes not, but always feminist - these horror stories tackle patriarchy and ideas about what roles people (are supposed to) play in it.






Au/DHD(coded) Fiction for Adults
My favourite fiction books with officially autistic and/or ADHD, or autistic and/or ADHD coded characters. Will only put first books for a series. Will add YA if I feel it's enjoyable for adults who don't read much or any YA. "Non official" neurodivergence means we are interpreting, which is always subjective. Criticism can be left in the comments. If you want to recommend a book, you're also welcome to do so in a comment. I will update this list as more favourites come up :)






coming of age horror
This is one of my favourite movie genres so I thought Iโd make a list for books!






Feminist YA
These YA stories tackle misogyny, male violence, or call out the small ways in which girls, women, and people read as such are treated like possessions, objects, "less than". They may show young women and afabs that refuse the roles others try to force onto them, or simply people standing up and saying "no further". Recs are welcome, as always. For other genres/target audiences, look at my other lists with the word "Feminist" in them.






let's do the death loop again!
it's like groundhog day, but for getting killed!
