Recs if you like Predatory Natures...
Un-be-leaf-able - planty fiction
Fiction books featuring plants as a major theme. For the purpose of this list, fungi are honorary plants! All fiction genres here (though I am primarily a fantasy reader, so suggestions most welcome!)
CottageGORE
Cottagecore, but make it disgusting & horrifying. I feel like CG Drews would like this list
Botanical horror
They say spring is the time when nature comes to life. And sometimes that's scary.
YA Horror Masterlist
as comprehensive a guide to ya horror as i can make it! work in progress, suggestions welcome ♡
a garden of horros
books with botanical horror themes, inspired by the botanical horror quest and don't let the forest in!
Feminist Horror
Sometimes queer, sometimes not, but always feminist - these horror stories tackle patriarchy and ideas about what roles people (are supposed to) play in it.
Bio-Gothic
Shadowy Studies in Unnatural Biology
Petals & Poison:
Plants and women that are pretty but deadly
Feminist YA
These YA stories tackle misogyny, male violence, or call out the small ways in which girls, women, and people read as such are treated like possessions, objects, "less than". They may show young women and afabs that refuse the roles others try to force onto them, or simply people standing up and saying "no further". Recs are welcome, as always. For other genres/target audiences, look at my other lists with the word "Feminist" in them.
floral covers
that specific kind of book with all the pretty but unsettling florals
Speculative Trains!
Speculative fiction stories that heavily feature trains. It's almost become its own subgenre, and there was no list for it; I thought there should be one. Happy to take recs in the comments! (I haven't read all of these. If you think a book doesn't belong on this list, leave a comment!)
