hungry women
these books use (literal) hunger as a political tool to speak to women’s oppression, repression and desire, whether through overt cannibal metaphor, speculative dispatches, or more subtle nuances of appetite in literary fiction. these women are hungry for something more, whether they’re allowed to act on it or not.
recommendations welcome!
upcoming queer horror
queer horror books releasing in 2026 and beyond! my aim is to keep this list updated as new releases come out, so you can always check back here to see what’s queer and scary and coming soon!
recommendations welcome, but i’m only including titles when and if they are confirmed to have queer representation.
the monstrous-feminine
in the first edition of ‘the monstrous-feminine’, barbara creed challenges the dominant representation of women in horror films as victims, arguing that patriarchal ideology constructs women as monstrous because of their sexuality (or lack thereof).
later, creed reinterprets the monstrous-feminine as a being who embraces her body and reclaims her otherness. in line with this contemporary vision, these are books which use horror to redefine notions of ‘womanhood’.
recommendations welcome!
