Recs if you like His Hideous Heart...

in progress - taking suggestions

Basically, a huge list of every book I ever heard features sapphic / lesbian characters.

I have not read all of these, so I cannot be sure of the amount of the time on page of the sapphic characters or of the quality of the books.

Some of these I do not plan to read at all, since they are not my style. If you feel like a book doesn't belong here, let me know.

For my favs / read, check out my other lists & shelves.

Don't shoot the messenger.

Short story, essays, comics, and/or poetry collections focusing on queer and trans folks. Please note: there are some collections listed where not every story is queer, but there is intersectionality, and since that is important, I have included them.

Horror short story collections and anthologies

Legends, ballets, poems, plays, classics, and everything else that does not fit with fairytales, folklore or mythology.

I have other lists for sapphic fairytale, folklore and mythology retellings!

Call me Ishmael for this is my white whale

Natalie Naudus has narrated hundreds of audiobooks so bear with me as I try to get them all on this list!

When you’re struggling to find your next book to read sometimes an anthology is the perfect answer. Whether it’s the variety of stories or trying to discover a new author, anthologies can bridge the gap between novels.

From sci-fi or horror to literature or mystery, prose, poetry or essays, this list of anthologies has it all.

I tried to cover as many genres and subjects as I could but, as always recommendations are encouraged (especially in romance/romantasy)

Anthologies of Horror: short story collections that frighten, scare, and terrify 💀

Do you love fairytales, folklore, mythology, and classics but wished they were sapphic? Then this list is for you!

I haven't read all of them, so if you believe one of these does not contain a sapphic romance (subplot), pls tell me in the comments! Recommendations are welcome!
