page turners and midnight oil burners
the types of books that even though they’re not perfect, the mystery and twists keep you up all night because you have to know what happens next/in the end.
I can’t promise you a “good” book… but I can sure as hell vouch you’ll want to devour it in one sitting.

Feral and Hysterical
This is a list of horror books written by women, as recommended by Sadie Hartmann (Mother Horror) in her book Feral and Hysterical. I highly recommend that you pick up a copy of Feral and Hysterical because it is so much more than a list of books. There are more lists of books, but also thoughtful essays by women writers. It's worth spending some time with Feral and Hysterical.
"Women are overqualified to write fictional horror. Period." -- Sadie Hartmann
