Recs if you like The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires...

When the narrator(s) makes the book even better. For new listeners and audiobook elites, here is a range of different genres and narrators that excel at audio perfection.

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.

We love books with a verbose title, and this list celebrates them! Suggestions welcome 🤗

not sure i would take these books titled “how to” or “guide to” at face value but your mileage may vary.

taking suggestions, as always.

list inspired by the one church lady who asked me what i was reading a few years back, then was shocked and appalled when i showed her The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires. this is all for you maam🫡

all things summer and horror from slashers to summer camp and your favorite local faire.

When homes, nurseries, kitchens, suburbs, etc. become the most dangerous places of all

where sins of the elders run deep, bodies are hidden in the bayou & haints hiding around corners- recommendations welcomed

Vampire books where they are the villain not the object of desire.

I love horror that takes place in the 70s, 80s, and 90s, so figured I'd put it all together here and hope for more recs in the process! This is a Stephen King free list.

books from all US states and territories. asking for recommendations! these books must a) be written by an author with a strong connection to the state or territory and b) take place largely in the state or territory. i want to try to prioritize, whenever possible, underrepresented voices / voices that america’s regime tries to silence.

please lmk if any of these authors or texts aren’t good representation.

i will comment a list with each state/territory + its associated book!

The goal: to have the most comprehensive complete list of vampire books, fiction and otherwise, in the world. Then? I’ll read them all.

Please send recs <3

Do you, like me, often find yourself looking at a book cover thinking, "Y'all are doing waaay too much." Why are book covers so dang extra nowadays? Here are some books that appeal to me simply because they have covers that don't look like a 19 year old with Photoshop barfed a bunch of design elements on a book and called it a day. Some I've read, some are on the TBR. And to all the authors and publishers out there, K.I.S.S.

I'm a sucker for them

Books in the horror comedy subgenre!

vampire books where romance is not the focus. think lit fic, horror, fantasy (not romantasy). throw any recs in the comments!

We think of summer as the season of light, but shadows are longest when the sun is highest. It is the time of the year when the woods grow too thick to see through, the water grows too dark to see into, and the heat makes the mind play tricks. From the rotting porches of the South to the blood-stained cabins of the North... We call them the Summer Nightmares.
