Recs if you like Pizza Girl...

An emergent subgrene by and about strange women on themes of female rage, sisterhood, hunger, attraction, beauty, motherhood, violence, and much more.

All the lesbians books I can find. If you have any book you want me to add please comment ❤️

these books are both aligned with and offer a queering of ‘weird girl literature’, a genre that manipulates horror, dark comedy, and/or surrealist elements to excavate the internal world of complex and unconventional characters. they are deviant, daring, and perverse reads for the weird queers among us.

*girl in quotation marks to allow this list to extend beyond the binary. recommendations welcome!

Books that are atmospheric, emotionally unsettling, beautifully written, a little weird, and linger long after you finish them.

...are unhinged, lonely, tortured, kooky, crazy, unmoored, yearning, plotting, stalking, monologuing, self-pitying, lost, etc.

Following women on journeys to do weird and maybe violent things.

my personal wlw library so… a lot of classic lesbian lit, basically

supporting women's rights and very very wrongs

Horror books with a page count of 200 pages or less.

Before we started defining novellas by word count, they were defined as being any book less than 200 pages. Source: my Analysis of Short Stories & Literature professor in community college. I loved that class. But he loved James Joyce. So, ymmv, I guess.

Just because you are queer doesn't mean you have your life together

Books where the protagonist loses their grip on reality, has strange, unsettling, and/or surreal experiences

spotlighting some incredible books by Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander authors

Name-calling and insults you might hear on the playground and beyond...

Anything can be an insult if you believe it! My kid brother used to get in trouble for calling us "you...you BEAN" with all the spite his little preschool self could manage 🥹

Short-ish Novels inviting consideration of novel characters in novel situations. Are we on a war ship? An airplane? Dedicated to a niche passion? Practicing a little known, long-ago tradition? Choosing a seemingly reasonable path in life that is nonetheless judged “unconventional” by others? Curated through my ACE lens!

could be queer could be horror downright wonky
