Recs if you like We Don't Swim Here...

are you sick of being recommended stephen king when you ask for a horror novel? have you picked up a book expected to be scared, but the scariest thing about it was a woman being needlessly tormented and gaslit? have you read 4627473 books about a man in a haunted house and need something different?

if so, this list is for you :)

a masterlist of horror by anyone who isn't a straight cis white man. i've been maintaining it for myself since 2022 and it was time to share the wealth!

Horror books by trans, Two Spirit, nonbinary, et al authors (may or may not include trans* characters).

Some books I either love or am super excited to read that are queer, BIPOC, and have some kind of speculative element (fantasy, sci fi, paranormal, etc)

as comprehensive a guide to ya horror as i can make it! work in progress, suggestions welcome ♡

parasitic algae, creatures in the depths, monstrous transformations...i'm just gonna stay on land but have fun playing mermaids!

Whether by lake, sea, or ocean these books have a distinctive nautical feel about them.
