mod-goth (modern gothic novels)
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!

Australian speculative fiction
Co-created with @doddyaboutbooks
Science fiction, fantasy, and horror from the land down under. A mix of old faves and fresh blood.
Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking.
Just a collection of books from across the genre spectrum featuring eye-catching flowers on the covers. Suggestions welcome!
dark fairytales & sumptuous myths
Delightfully Different and Wonderfully Weird
Books that challenge reality in all the best ways! From SciFi and speculative fiction to horror and literature these books are true escapism. Most I have read and loved some I’m most definitely going to read. I’m sure not all will be for everyone and that’s ok! Just wanted to share a little weirdness 🤓
Authors from Brisbane/Meanjin
Books written by authors born in, who lived in, or are based in Brisbane/Meanjin, with a soft emphasis on books set in or around the area.
A WIP!!
