Recs if you like The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner...

Based on the list/book published in 2006, general editor Peter Boxall.

We love books with a verbose title, and this list celebrates them! Suggestions welcome 🤗

A mix of classics & modern literature, that have to do with the witchy, gothic and horror genres ✨

books with an experimental structure or narrative choices, metafiction, oulipo, postmodernism, etc.

A comprehensive list from Dr. Rebecca Marks (ig:culture_dumper). Includes English, American, Irish, Scottish, German, French, Spanish and Latin American Gothic stories.

Gothic novels and short stories in the Public Domain, available as free eBooks on gutenberg.org and standardebooks.org

Someone (or thing) that looks like you/someone you know and then often does some fucked up stuff is pretty scary imo

So this is a list of horror novels featuring the doppelgänger/doppelganger trope

(as a german it is a bit strange that you guys couldn't make up your own word, and the feeling I get when I see the a instead of the ä is a very watered down version of what our poor protagonists are going through rn)

This list will showcase the vast amount of Scottish Literature available, from the late medieval period to the present day. Partly inspired by there only being a few Scottish books on the 'British Classics' quest. Alba gu bràth!

(This is not exhaustive! Just 100 or so books that vaguely trace the development of Scottish Literature.)

nosferatu inspired reading list, books about obsessive and monstrously toxic dynamics, along with vampires and the gothic obviously.

a collection of existential crises, surreal detours, grotesque little creatures, and the occasional philosophical cockroach. somewhere between the absurdity of being alive and the absurdity of trying to understand it.

This is the compendium of books from the 2012 edition.

A simple reading through the decades (1807-1997) challenge focused on deeply flawed characters and societal critiques with a few slight thematic depatures to keep things fresh because that's how I like to read. Some decades are repesented more heavily than others. I put this together in an attempt to make myself a more widely-read person. Suggestions welcome!
