We all know what kind of freakishness those too-tight collars are really holding in, the depths of depravity lurking underneath those flowing robes. These books prove our theories, with enough extra creativity to make us blush and sweat.

Clergy capers, nun naughtiness, pegged priests, creative uses of crucifixes, sanctimonious smut.

Not limited to Catholic blasphemy.

This is an achillean horror books lists.. i make this because i want more gays. This list is inspired by the list made by @Thehobbit ( Yes. I definitely did not read like 99% of these books so. Y'all can like.. recs me some.. please ) + This is also a reminder i should read horror more, because why not, and they're fun and and — I hope yall have fun with this list, please educate me if i picked non achillean books as I've stated i have not read most of these, i will be updating over time.

Unhinged and chaotic queer stories that are beyond entertaining (and in some ways, very disturbing as the best are haha!)

Queer books that deal in one way or another with Christianity. Angels, demons, churches, religious trauma - it's all in here! Many stories lean horror and/or erotic 🔞

Recommendations welcome!

Is it bury your gays if they're all queer?

I love reading indie sci-fi and fantasy and think more people should too! This is a list of some of my favorite indie books and some that I am looking forward to reading.

Indie horror with queer rep.

I mostly put books I already read and can recommend on this list, so it grows very slowly, since I am a slow reader.

A list compiling all books read by the Trans Reading Group. The list will be added to every year! One book, Sasha by Roberta Angela Dee, is missing from Goodreads and therefore also this list.

Companion to the ANGELS list, with significant overlap 😂 Mainly 🏳️‍🌈

books exploring the intersection of queerness and christian faith

These good books can fit sooo many religious trauma vibes in them 😅✌🏻
