Queer & trans stories in apocalyptic or post-apocalyptic worlds

First of a series only

Sister list to: Zombies, but make it Queer

As always, suggestions incredibly welcome!

Note: Not specifically a list of good LGBTQ+ representation (though many of them absolutely are, and many are written by queer and/or trans authors!). But I haven't read all of them (yet), so this list doesn't inherently imply my recommendation, as such

Introspective books by people who observe a lot, ponder a lot, feel a lot, and write about it. Creative memoir, self-indulgent navel-gazing, or "wan little husks" (as Joyce Carol Oates once put it)... whatever you personally think about autofiction, including whether or not it really is a genre, this somewhat experimental form of writing most definitely gives both writers and readers a chance to engage in narratives in a different way.

Books to widen the possibilities of how we might save ourselves us from the worsening climate crisis by recognizing and learning from the queerness already represented in nature

The best of autofiction - all the humor, drama, and introspection!

Fiction and NF, books set in LA or about LA

All sorts of stories about all sorts of women. Mostly litfic, some horror.
