Goodreads "Horror For Beginners"
Created from the list on Goodreads by Cybil and Sadie Hartmann (September 29, 2025)
weird lit
books that will leave you in a "what did i just read" cloud for weeks after (scifi, horror, contemporary, etc)
Delightfully Different and Wonderfully Weird
Books that challenge reality in all the best ways! From SciFi and speculative fiction to horror and literature these books are true escapism. Most I have read and loved some I’m most definitely going to read. I’m sure not all will be for everyone and that’s ok! Just wanted to share a little weirdness 🤓
