Recs if you like Green and Deadly Things...

I'm sure some of these are already on your TBR, so might as well add some more! Let me know if I am missing any of your favorites!

We should all be reading queer, all year, but this list is full of upcoming queer books of all makes and models coming out in 2026. If you have a rec to add, just please keep in mind we’re looking for 2026 releases!

fantasy books that feature necromancy - with protagonists or antagonists as necromancers. for magic systems that are more than a little macabre

Because magic and murder do kind of mix

lit fic and horror, mainly, and mostly books by women, nonbinary & trans writers, basically mostly non-cis-men

bodyguards, knights & royal guards

Books with The Last Dinner Party vibe. Specifically their song The scythe. Don't cry,were bound together. Each life runs it's course. I'll see you in the next one. Next time I know you'll call.

Sci-fi, Fantasy, and some Horror (not all) where fungal and botanical contagion threatens our protagonists with ominous powers or foreboding new changes. (More than botanical horror.)
