Oh Yes, There's a Monster in My (Queer) Book!
Happy Halloween! We love monster books. So here's a pile of books, across genres, that have monsters as characters. And they have queer characters! And sometimes, the monster is (one of) the queer characters! But not always. (This list is presented by Duck Prints Press, the indie publisher focused on publishing queer art and stories by queer creators! A group of us collaborate to make these recommendations.)
Nautical Horror: Horror on a Ship
Davy Jones, Kraken, Flying Dutchman, Ghost Ships, Pirates, Bermuda Triangle, oh my!
Nautical: of relating to sailors, sailing, or ships.
I have not read almost any of these, so sorry if a lot of these arenโt that good lol. There seem to be very few quintessential nautical horror books, but a whole lot of possibly middling ones.
Beach Reads with Queer Characters
It's summer time in the northern hemisphere, which means R&R! For the southern hemisphere, it means cozy quiet time. Either way, this list is for you: low-stakes books, easy to pick up and put down, that make for enjoyable light reading! And of course, all have one or more queer characters.
