Southern Gothic

Broken but not Ruined
This list focuses on characters that have lived through physical, sexual, or religious trauma. This is not a list of self help or feel good books. This is for the people who know life is dark, love is conditional, and trust is something you guard. Endings are not guaranteed to be happy (tho some are) and characters may not be likable (trauma does that to you), but all books listed are ones that I've personally read and like. I will not add books that I do not know.
the horror was for love
horror novels that are actually quite deeply tender, threaded through with love (not only romantic)
Humid Horror: Spooky Tales from the Bayou State
Horror books that either primarily or exclusively take place in Louisiana. Tried to stick to horror and not venture out into thriller territory!
Psychosexual Fiction
Not all are horror.

Healing is optional, suffering is the focus
I have come to realise I am driven to stories which have a big focus on trauma. Here is a list of what I have already finished and enjoyed with a big focus on trauma either directly or indirectly through metaphors. Some of theses will be more intense than others, please do read the description of each one for content warnings. I will try to keep this updated as I read more, you can mention recommendations in the comments but I won't add anything unless I have read it myself xD
