Recs if you like The Library at Hellebore...

in progress

Basically, a huge list of every book I ever heard features sapphic characters.

I have not read all of these, so I cannot be sure of the amount of the time on page of the sapphic characters or of the quality of the books.

Some of these I do not plan to read at all, since they are not my style. If you feel like a book doesn't belong here, let me know.

For my favs / read, check out my other lists & shelves.

Open to suggestions for more titles.

Don't shoot the messenger.

I'm sure some of these are already on your TBR, so might as well add some more! Let me know if I am missing any of your favorites!

Maybe the people are magical, maybe the library is. Maybe these aren’t as fictional as they seem.

Recommendations encouraged!

books featuring or set in magic schools / universities / academies, aka, one of the best subgenres in existence !

this list has books for all ages (am actively looking for more adult options), most of the books are dark academia, and ALL of them are fantastical 🪄 recs welcome <3

(alternatively, books to fall in love with & share with others to help avoid supporting or promoting JKR. i will never shut up ab how the Nevermoor series deserves the popularity that Harry Potter enjoys !)

Horror stories (in all of its forms/subgenres) from Asian authors!

Recs welcome!

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

I could take you to the first, second, third floor 🏠

these are books with rooms of the house in the title

I tried to arrange the list so that it takes us from the basement to the attic like a real house!

as always, taking any and all suggestions!!!

Horror books to read just for the aesthetic

Horror books that take place in boarding schools (or somewhere similar) for the most part. Because homework isn't bad enough already. Recommendations are always welcome!

Eclectic choices of stories to forget life sucks.

Short-ish (& sometimes spicy) standalone speculative stories.

Science fiction and fantasy books by Malaysian authors. N.B. This list is not meant to be exhaustive.

Horror and thriller stories that prominently feature trans characters, across age groups and sub-genres. 🔞

Recommendations welcome!

✦ I have not read all of these books - if you notice anything that seems to be mis-labeled/mis-placed on this list, please let me know! ✦

Social commentary under patriarchy

This is a collection of queer books written by bipoc authors that fall into the genre of fantasy and/or sci-fi (supernatural horror is also included)

(If a book is part of a series I only put the first book because otherwise it gets messy very quickly)

Recommendations are always welcome!!!

Call me a monster? Have it your way 🤷‍♀️ Queer characters who become something wild, feral, misunderstood--and maybe also a literal creature.

Suggestions welcome!

true dark academia that ranges from fantastical/supernatural to psychological literary fiction

Natalie Naudus has narrated hundreds of audiobooks so bear with me as I try to get them all on this list!

Mostly gay books that are dark or bloody or both! (Not finished yet!)
