Recs if you like Wranglestone...

Creepy books made better because there are queer characters

literally just give me yearning at the end of the world

a definitely not exhaustive list of apocalypse books with queer characters

{ recommendations welcome }

Queer and trans stories in, or after, the zombie apocalypse!

First of a series only

Sister list to: Apocalyptic, 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 have not read all of them (yet), so this list doesn't inherently imply my recommendation, as such.

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?

Zombie reading list packed with outbreaks, survival, and the occasional accidental bite. Even the apocalypse has its awkward moments.

Post-apocalyptic fiction with queer characters or themes

Do you tend to read emotionally taxing books? Have you recently read a book so good you're in danger of a reading slump? Are you working through a seven-book series and desperately need a break? Look no further!! This is a working list of what I call 'buffer books'. These are (usually) light-hearted fast-paced reads that are perfect for fighting off a reading slump. I'll have some more details on what type of books qualify in the comments, I'd love some suggestions to keep expanding this list!!

Queer books to read in autumn, not inherently scary, just perfect for the gloomy weather
