This is a genre-agnostic mega-list of weird girl* fiction expanding on an original list by @yarnandbooks (no longer being updated). You can view the original list here: (link) /// As a nonbinary person, I take as broad a view as possible of the "girl" in "weird girl*", hence the asterisk.
Wide open for recommendations!
Women vs The Void
Unnamed Antagonists and Villains
I noticed a trend in some of my recent reads, in which authors chose to leave the disappointing or downright abusive and criminal men unnamed. I started researching this and expanded it a bit. I haven't read them all, and some don't fit quite as cleanly as my original 3 - Hamnet, A Dowry of Blood, and Bright Young Women, so please let me know if you feel some don't fit well at all, or if you have additional suggestions!!
