Recs if you like Rose/House...

One of several Non-Humans & Empathy -themed lists by @Myth.Ink (See also: Non-Fiction, GNs/Manga+, Youth Titles, Creature Feature, & the Official @Myth.Ink Curation) | This list is the FICTION-realistic edition, including fictional interactions and considerations of interactions between plausibly realistic non-human beings of all types (trees, robots, animals, ai, aliens, objects, science-experiment beings, etc) and humans, empathy and lack thereof. | Suggestions more than welcome!

Speculative (sci-fi, fantasy, horror etc.) novellas less than 200 pages long that are either standalone or read like a standalone story

"Place as character" is usually reserved for lush descriptions that bring environments to life, and less often used for environments that have a life of their own. This list includes houses, homes, castles, spaceships, anywhere people will spend time and call home. Not meant to include haunted houses, but a case could be argued for specific ones. c:

Only including the first in a series unless books feature different sentient places.

Buildings that have strong opinions, rearrange floor plans or don't stay where you left them.

Hii, everyone ♡ I am a very big fan of the booktuber @caricanread so I thought I would make a list of all the books she has read this year! ✰

short books around 200 pages or less that you can easily read in one sitting! for those who just want a quick read or those trying to hit their reading goals ! i tried to include a variety of genres including lit fic, fantasy, sci-fi, horror, thriller, etc.

A list of stories with sentient houses and other things that go bump in the night (to varying degrees of spookiness)

book recs for orange readers according to read your color on substack | updated periodically

just a little list of haunted books that are doing something fun or a bit different than a traditional ghost story

The good, the bad, and the evil of stories involving homes/places that are not quite haunted but definitely sentient in some way

it’s haunted, it’s evil, it’s gonna eat us alive
