The SCP is an organization that Secures, Contains, and Protects our world against anomalous objects, entities, and phenomena. Be advised: these books contain such SCPs that have escaped confinement and have caused havoc and destruction. Read at your own peril. And remember to document your findings.

in progress

Basically, a huge list of every book I ever heard features sapphic characters.

I have not read all of these, so I cannot be sure of the amount of the time on page of the sapphic characters or of the quality of the books.

Some of these I do not plan to read at all, since they are not my style. If you feel like a book doesn't belong here, let me know.

For my favs / read, check out my other lists & shelves.

Open to suggestions for more titles.

Don't shoot the messenger.

Creepy books made better because there are queer characters

Horror books were cameras and journals may be all that remain

Fiction to read when riding that Stranger Things high, with similar vibes, references or stories. Sometimes called the "kids on bikes" genre, this is a mix of small town horror, scifi and speculative fiction. Also the tie-in novels for Stranger Things itself, as that inspired this list.

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

All the YA Sapphic books that have been published (or at least most of them). The books in this list have at least one main character who is either a lesbian, bisexual or pansexual. I only put the first books in series.

“Make your statement, face your fear.”

A selection of books with vibes similar to the themes, narrative format, and generally eeriness of our favorite horror pod. Recommendations always welcome!

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

A collection of mixed media and epistolary/immersive books

Ah yes, this ol' issue that has plagued librarians and bookstore clerks for decades.

And sometimes you find the right book, but... can you even call that shade blue?

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!

did you love creepypastas like ben drowned, candle cove or smile dog as a kid? then analog horror might be for you! while this isn't an exhaustive list of all possible analog horror books, it's what i consider a good start. happy reading ♡

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

while i haven't read all of these books, these are some that i'd love to read and that very much give me that kind of thriller, paranormal, sinister vibes that the famed podcast had! for those who also like podcasts like "lore" and "noble blood"

just because it's ya doesn't make it less spooky! includes different subgenres from gothic horror to botanical horror to apocalypse horror — recommendations welcome!
