Recs if you like Hallowed Be Her Flesh...

Speculative fiction (fantasy, horror, sci-fi, etc.) about, or prominently featuring, ace characters. This includes demisexual characters and ace-spec characters as well! 🖤🤍💜 corrections & recommendations welcome <3

Note: used to be titled “For My Fellow Garlic Bread Lovers” but I worried it would cause confusion or not enough clarity on what the list was about (still keeping the bread emoji tho)

Featuring wildly talented authors who couldn’t stop at writing the book and had to paint the cover too. Honestly unfair, but extremely good for our bookshelves.

Bitches be hoarding talent.

Novels for when you want to explore religious trauma and the impacts of religion through fiction. For nonfic, see my list “From saint to sinner: religious deconstruction”

Suggestions are welcome!

Fiction and non-fiction in which a main character, prominent supporting character, or narrator is canonically/confirmed to be on the asexual (ace) spectrum.

📓Canon: Confirmed by either the text or original creator. (Subtextual/implied and circumstantial characters can be found on my other ace list)

❕Disclaimer: I have not read all these books. Please feel free to correct me in the comments if I have made a mistake in my research. Or if you have any new titles to recommend.

Queer horror (& thriller & some suspense) written by self-published and indie authors, many leaning erotic and/or religious 🔞

Angelic abominations that are more akin to eldritch beings and monsters than visionary beauties.

It’s what it says on the tin: romance & erotica with monster main characters and/or love interests that are peculiar, eldritch, or downright horrifying. Open to recs!

Books with sapphic relationships where they both live, and/or have a happy ending. This collection of books has been recommended to me based off of a post I made in the sapphic across genres forum. This is made in order to try combat the media's tendencies of killing off the sapphics (when they actually do decide to give us representation). please be aware that I haven't read most of these, so they may not be entirely accurate to the list title. I am open to any suggestions as well!

Mostly gay books that are dark or bloody or both! (Not finished yet!)

Sapphic books across genres by indie/self-pub authors, many leaning erotic 🔞

Recommendations welcome!
