What lies within the depths... Speculative Horror books where the main horror element directly relates to a body of water (whether that be a swamp, ocean, lake, river, etc.)

Keyword: aquatic horror recommendations and corrections welcome!






Kids Can Be Cruel
Name-calling and insults you might hear on the playground and beyond...
Anything can be an insult if you believe it! My kid brother used to get in trouble for calling us "you...you BEAN" with all the spite his little preschool self could manage ๐ฅน






Horror set in the late 1900s
I love horror that takes place in the 70s, 80s, and 90s, so figured I'd put it all together here and hope for more recs in the process! This is a Stephen King free list.






b is for body horror ๐ฉป
dismemberment, parasitic infection, medical transmutation... body horror truly has it all. when the horror lives inside you, when there's no external danger, what do you do? you can't run from the transformation you've undergone. body horror centers the unbecoming of who you are at your core and the subsequent changes on the outside.






You can run but you canโt tide!
Are you scared of the ocean? You should be.






don't go in the water
parasitic algae, creatures in the depths, monstrous transformations...i'm just gonna stay on land but have fun playing mermaids!
