Recs if you like Little Rot...

An emergent subgrene by and about strange women on themes of female rage, sisterhood, hunger, attraction, beauty, motherhood, violence, and much more.

weird girl books with a Black woman protagonist! recommendations very welcome, hoping to spotlight some lesser known titles!

Works in the speculative, fantasy, science fiction, and horror genres by authors who are not cisgender! Two spirit, nonbinary, trans, genderfluid, and other gender diverse authors count!

these books are both aligned with and offer a queering of ‘weird girl literature’, a genre that manipulates horror, dark comedy, and/or surrealist elements to excavate the internal world of complex and unconventional characters. they are deviant, daring, and perverse reads for the weird queers among us.

*girl in quotation marks to allow this list to extend beyond the binary. recommendations welcome!

this is your reminder to read books by Black authors all month, all year, every year— not just during Black History Month. it’s crucially important to be able to diversify your reading and your bookshelves. expand your mind, your perspectives, your knowledge, and your taste. if you don’t know where to start, here are some recommendations!

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

Weird, unusual, or taboo LGBTQ books that may make you slightly uncomfortable

pink, sophisticated & sometimes fatale <3 curating the personality of my aspirations (added some essential nonfic & poetry!)

an engaging collection that captures the depth and diversity of African storytelling, blending tradition, history, and modern life through powerful voices.

Books where a sapphic character is being a menace. Maybe they're messy, monstrous or murdering someone.

For people who want to dip toes in Nigerian literature.

Books on my TBR with LGBTQIA+ characters or themes.

Books where the main character is black and part of the lgbt community! A lot of these came from recommendations on a post I made here, thank you to everyone who replied! And feel free to recommend more! :)

This is a selection that i'll keep updating and will include fiction and non-fiction alike, i hope you join me. Happy reading!! love u

Mostly horror, some thrillers, and some plain weird books that you probably followed well, and definitely think about for a long time.
