weird ‘girl’ lit for dirtbag queers
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!
