Recs if you like The Monsters We Made...

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.

A genre-inclusive and diverse list of horror releases coming in 2026. If I missed any or you have suggestions, please let me know. I will update periodically as new books are announced and release dates are solidified.

Source for a lot of the data for this list came from readjumpscares.com, which is a website you should absolutely check out. I’m sure data will come from other places along the way, as well.

So many sapphic books are coming out this year, and I’m so excited to read every single one!

This list includes books where the character's queerness is clear, not merely suggested. The sapphic characters have to be central to the story.

The genres go beyond romance, expanding to historical fiction, fantasy, poetry, graphic novels, horror, non-fiction & more.

The selection is still growing 🌈

Books centred around cryptids, the paranormal, aliens, et cetera, but also... people make out.

Book Reccomendations based on my love for The X Files🖤 Mysteries, Thrillers and Horrors featuring detectives, bickering, small town conspiracies, urban legends, cults, aliens, slow-burn romance, and All Things Spooky, Scienc-y and Supernatural.

books centered around ghost hunters! not all horror, but most of them will be
