Historical fiction books with queer characters

books that feature an animal (real & fantastical alike) as a side character, companion, or a pet!

We all love gothic classics, but what is new when it comes to the gothic genre (from the last 20 years or so)?! For fans of Dracula, Jane Eyre, Frankenstein, We Have Always Lived in the Castle, etc. Please comment with suggestions to add!

A list for books based on the works of other writers (or: authors copying each other’s homework 🙂‍↕️). Suggestions welcome!

A list of horror books with stunning cover art because sometimes we do judge a book by its cover. Obviously this list is subjective but it’s diverse and inclusive.

Ongoing list so please feel free to suggest!

They say spring is the time when nature comes to life. And sometimes that's scary.

Scifi/Fantasy/Speculative fiction featuring women in STEM* careers (*the M can stand for magic if the worldbuilding presents magic like a STEM field)

Call me Ishmael for this is my white whale

creeping vines, twisting thorns, bleeding hearts and rotted bones...

Apparently, there are several ways to make (or be) a monster! Frankenstein reimaginings

books with botanical horror themes, inspired by the botanical horror quest and don't let the forest in!

Books saved from TikTok feed that were labelled as Horror/Fantasy (although I think some were only given that label bc they have vampires in them). I have not read all of these myself personally, so as like my other lists, if one doesn't belong please comment so!

Notes in the margins are a must. — Me, a neurotic literature degree holder

plants and horror. for those who love botanical horror, because nature can be sinister.

Need more Frankenstein? Here are fiction and non-fiction titles that will scratch the itch.
