Recs if you like The Library at Hellebore...

Basically, a huge list of books from all genres featuring sapphic characters, whether bisexual, lesbian, butch, femme, or anything in between.

Includes fiction and nonfiction. Books with spice, and books with very little romance alike. You may find epic lady knights, pirates, ancient vampires or just weird girl adventures, heartbreaking stories or cozy books of found family and queer joy. Memoirs, historical fiction, instruction manuals, maybe even a poem or two.

Welcoming suggestions<3

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

Eclectic choices of stories to forget life sucks.

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!

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 (including thrillers & slashers). 🔞

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!)
