Recs if you like The Brides...

every struggled to find actual lesbian/sapphic books when at the library or bookstore? so did I!

bc of said struggle, I started to curate a personal list of books that either has lesbian MCs and/or featured a primary sapphic romance.

i haven't read all of these, but I do try my diligence in confirming that they meet the above perimeters, since many books claim to be sapphic when they're not. this is an ever updating list, only fiction for now!

We should all be reading queer, all year, but this list is full of upcoming queer books of all makes and models coming out in 2026. If you have a rec to add, just please keep in mind we’re looking for 2026 releases!

queer horror books releasing in 2026 and beyond! my aim is to keep this list updated as new releases come out, so you can always check back here to see what’s queer and scary and coming soon!

recommendations welcome, but i’m only including titles when and if they are confirmed to have queer representation.

collecting all 2026 releases featuring sapphic romance!!

was curious, so did some research and found loads and loads!!! happy reading, folks!

A genre-inclusive and diverse list of horror releases coming in 2026. If I missed any or you have suggestions, please let me know. I will update periodically as new books are announced and release dates are solidified.

Source for a lot of the data for this list came from readjumpscares.com, which is a website you should absolutely check out. I’m sure data will come from other places along the way, as well.

A list for books based on the works of other writers (or: authors copying each other’s homework 🙂‍↕️). Suggestions welcome!

Horror books to read just for the aesthetic

A curated list of 2026 debuts, all with LGBTQIA+ representation

For those who yearn for toxic, tragic and darkly inclined lesbian/sapphic vampires

Legends, ballets, poems, plays, classics, and everything else that does not fit with fairytales, folklore or mythology.

I have other lists for sapphic fairytale, folklore and mythology retellings!

a collection of books im interested in which are releasing this year (2026). no particular order

Sexy vampires, well all vampires are sexy so vampires in general (Also let me know ones to add - I'd love some recs)

Epistolary delivery: Books told in the form of letters, journals, diaries, texts, logs, etc...

this list features upcoming books that feature sapphic MCs or romance and are releasing in 2026!

vampire books for the girlies who prefer their vampires dark and gothic rather than full of rom-com swagger.

dracula has had his moment. it's time for the women of the vampire genre to shine (just not in the sun). A mix of horror, fiction, fantasy, and romances (sapphic and otherwise!)

Do you love fairytales, folklore, mythology, and classics but wished they were sapphic? Then this list is for you!

I haven't read all of them, so if you believe one of these does not contain a sapphic romance (subplot), pls tell me in the comments! Recommendations are welcome!
