Recs if you like Queen of Teeth...

horror books with a queer focus, including queer stories and central characters

Works in the speculative, fantasy, science fiction, and horror genres by authors who are not cisgender! Two spirit, nonbinary, trans, genderfluid, and other gender diverse authors count!

Horror books by trans, Two Spirit, nonbinary, et al authors (may or may not include trans* characters).

Horror books featuring sapphic characters and relationships!

A tribute to a type of cover, originally deemed Girls with Fucked Up Faces, that never fails to grab my attention. Not all of these are books I’ve enjoyed or endorse or even read, it’s just all about the covers.

Name-calling and insults you might hear on the playground and beyond...

Anything can be an insult if you believe it! My kid brother used to get in trouble for calling us "you...you BEAN" with all the spite his little preschool self could manage 🥹

Is it bury your gays if they're all queer?

Call me Ishmael for this is my white whale

continuing with my series of lists inspired by singular & genre-defying filmmakers, this list looks at the ongoing legacy of david cronenberg, offering works that in some way feel reminiscent of his. recommendations, as always, are welcome, and feel free to request filmmakers in the comments!

A list of some of my favorite sapphic horror books

Horror stories focusing on female characters who commit acts of violence rather than being the victims.

A reading list celebrating the women who know exactly how to get under your skin! Thankful for the gurlies!!!

dismemberment, parasitic infection, medical transmutation... body horror truly has it all. when the horror lives inside you, when there's no external danger, what do you do? you can't run from the transformation you've undergone. body horror centers the unbecoming of who you are at your core and the subsequent changes on the outside.

A place to find books about experiments, lab testing, or other strange controlled environments that take a turn. Please make recommendations if you have them. This is one of my favorite concepts.

Books with titles that start with the most uncommon letters to begin words: X, Q, Z & J.

I wanted to join the fun in doing an alphabet challenge and am currently adding X and Z to complete my alphabet of books :) Here’s some recommendations if others want a similar challenge!

My favorite collection of horror that’s weird, femme, and totally unhinged. Think lip-glossed monsters, twisted friendships, pastel gore, and outsider girls surviving surreal nightmares. Cute, creepy, and a little bit feral; just how I like it.

This is a list of horror books written by women, as recommended by Sadie Hartmann (Mother Horror) in her book Feral and Hysterical. I highly recommend that you pick up a copy of Feral and Hysterical because it is so much more than a list of books. There are more lists of books, but also thoughtful essays by women writers. It's worth spending some time with Feral and Hysterical.

"Women are overqualified to write fictional horror. Period." -- Sadie Hartmann
