Recs if you like Night of the Living Queers: 13 Tales of Terror Delight...

Basically, a huge list of books from all genres featuring sapphic characters, whether bisexual, lesbian, butch, femme, or anything in between.

Includes fiction and nonfiction. Books with spice, and books with very little romance alike. You may find epic lady knights, pirates, ancient vampires or just weird girl adventures, heartbreaking stories or cozy books of found family and queer joy. Memoirs, historical fiction, instruction manuals, maybe even a poem or two.

Welcoming suggestions<3

Creepy books made better because there are queer characters

A list of anthologies focusing on LGBTQ+ representation. :)

as comprehensive a guide to ya horror as i can make it! work in progress, suggestions welcome ♡

what do you mean you're the tuna melt ilya made shane in heated rivalry 😭

The only criteria for this list is that it has a queer character and takes place near or on Halloween. Most books are horror, romance (both mild and spicy), mystery, or thriller. I haven't read most of these so I welcome suggestions. Happy gay Halloween!

books in which the cover has lime green font

(weirdly lots of horror?)

Sometimes queer, sometimes not, but always feminist - these horror stories tackle patriarchy and ideas about what roles people (are supposed to) play in it.

Anthologies of fiction or comics that are either specifically themed around or prominently feature queer characters, stories, or authors

Some of these Ive read and some I havent yet. I've just noticed a pattern and wanted to share. Partially inspired by the lovely list 'Queer Anthologies' by kathytrithardt !! Always open to suggestions!

The spoopy season is upon us, and queer love prevails! Get ensnared in these books throughout October, where romance meets ghosts, monsters, witches, and all things delightfully eerie. From cozy paranormal crushes to deliciously dark entanglements, these books are sure to give you chills in all the best ways.

“Queer” refers to the identities of the main characters, not whether a romantic relationship is between a man and a woman. This list spans a multitude of sexual/romantic orientations and relationship orientations.

Note: If a series features the same MCs, I've only put the first book. If a series features different MCs, I've only listed the relevant book(s) in the series.

These YA stories tackle misogyny, male violence, or call out the small ways in which girls, women, and people read as such are treated like possessions, objects, "less than". They may show young women and afabs that refuse the roles others try to force onto them, or simply people standing up and saying "no further". Recs are welcome, as always. For other genres/target audiences, look at my other lists with the word "Feminist" in them.
