Recs if you like The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein...

books w/ full names in the title (mostly fiction)

We all love gothic classics, but what is new when it comes to the gothic genre (from the last 20 years or so)?! For fans of Dracula, Jane Eyre, Frankenstein, We Have Always Lived in the Castle, etc. Please comment with suggestions to add!

Need more Frankenstein? Here are fiction and non-fiction titles that will scratch the itch.

Shadowy Studies in Unnatural Biology

Classic novel/poem retellings (this list excludes mythology & fairytales)

~ speculative fiction only ~

"We are fashioned creatures, but half made up." -Frankenstein by Mary Shelley

She’s alive in all genres (open to additions!)

I love a good retelling. First in series or standalones. Suggestions welcome.

not all of these are romance. stories involving characters who lose it over love.

(mostly YA) books with a character's full name in the title

*no spice bc I don't wanna lol

Re-imaginings of Frankenstein by Mary Shelley

Are you obsessed with Frankenstein like me? Here's a bunch of books to read.

Classics and other tales that are being retold but with a nystery/thriller slant.

This is a list of horror books written by women, as recommended by Sadie Hartmann (Mother Horror) in her book Feral and Hysterical. I highly recommend that you pick up a copy of Feral and Hysterical because it is so much more than a list of books. There are more lists of books, but also thoughtful essays by women writers. It's worth spending some time with Feral and Hysterical.

"Women are overqualified to write fictional horror. Period." -- Sadie Hartmann
