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

These feel like Roland Faunte songs
"I am the reason I suffer but I am worth fighting for." - Roland Faunte (from the song "Anchor")
Haunting, delicate, desperate, shaking voices, trembling fingers...reading these stories feels like listening to Roland Faunte songs. [Created Apr '26]

Fictional Fodder for Your Brain
These books are built around ideas more than plot. What makes a thing or a person what it is/who they are? What is reality? In a patriarchal society, what happens if we take men out of the equation? Leaning into the philosophical without reading like a textbook, they offer interesting characters, good writing, and much to think about. (Recs are welcome. I will not add novels that offer interesting ideas, but make me think they should have been a short story. Short story collections are fine.)
