Recs if you like The White Road...
no stephen king in sight
are you sick of being recommended stephen king when you ask for a horror novel? have you picked up a book expected to be scared, but the scariest thing about it was a woman being needlessly tormented and gaslit? have you read 4627473 books about a man in a haunted house and need something different?
if so, this list is for you :)
a masterlist of horror by anyone who isn't a straight cis white man. i've been maintaining it for myself since 2022 and it was time to share the wealth!
There’s something not right about this place
Fiction stories about Haunted houses and other locations. Maybe it’s ghosts, maybe it’s cursed, maybe it’s ancient gods or creatures? All kinda of supernatural haunts and creatures attached to homes, objects, or locations.
cold horror
does it matter if you’re shivering from fear or the cold?
i’m obsessed… with this list!
books centering on characters obsessed with a certain thing, ambition, or goal! one of my favorite types of characters… you could say I’m obsessed with them
what would you do to survive?
survival stories, often but not always set in extreme locations or climates.
isolation
who do you become when you’re cut off from the rest of the world?
books in which a person or group of people are physically isolated and have to contend with who they really are.
winter horror
horror books that take place in winter or where winter is a big plot point.
Setting: somewhere chilly
Antarctica, Patagonia, Alaska, Canada, upper Great Lakes, somewhere in the mountains, wintertime, etc. (fiction and nonfiction)
Ghostly Goings-On👻👀⚰
Endlessly searching for another ghost story to beat my all-time favourite, 'Dark Matter' by Michelle Paver. Haven't found it yet...
Icy Horror
Little list of horror literature focused on books set in the Arctic or snowy, mountainous regions 🗻
(This list includes only books I have read so far; will update from time to time 😊)
