Recs if you like The Angel of the Crows...

Ravens/ crows on covers or in titles 🕷️ 🕸️ 🦇 These books are ones I think I will like, I have high hopes and expect top notch atmosphere! (All tbr books are on the list on probation, so the list might change after I've read and evaluated the raveness; if crow essence is to be found)

Today (May 22) is Sherlock Holmes Day! Whether you read queerness into the original Holmes stories or not, no one can disagree that this is a wonderful moment to highlight some mystery books starring queer characters! (This list is presented by Duck Prints Press, the indie publisher focused on publishing queer art and stories by queer creators! A group of us collaborate to make these recommendations.)

Listen my wife is obsessed and that makes me a secondhand expert. Mostly queer!!

reworks of classic sci-fi, horror, gothic, or mystery tales

sometimes a completely different genre than the original

Mysteries set in secondary worlds. To qualify for this list, a book must have a mystery plot and be set in a fictional world. I'll be adding to this list as I read them, but recommendations are welcome!
