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

Open to suggestions for more titles.

Don't shoot the messenger.

Books where cults are a significant part of the narrative. Some fiction, some non-fiction.

Not all collections hold things you can touch. This one holds worlds that breathe, selves that dissolve, and realities that refuse to hold their shape. These are the fictions that live on the edge of what language can contain - and sometimes just beyond. Admission is free, through entry requires a signed waiver: the curator cannot be held responsible for any transformations that occur upon your exit. We welcome specimen recommendations!

You loved Patrick Bateman. You wanted to be Jay Gatsby. You know all the rules about Fight Club. Well, do I have the list for you! Um, actually... is a list of books where the whole point went over people's heads. These novels handed readers a mirror and they wore it as a name badge instead. Always taking recommendations! (p.s. I am begging you to watch Um, Actually on Dropout TV... um, actually please watch anything/everything on Dropout TV)

Books with obsessive and/or codependent queer relationships (relationship doesn't have to be canon but the vibes™ should be there)

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!

These audiobooks do accents so badly they'll give you second-hand embarrassment. Please let me know what books I should add to this list.

Books that are atmospheric, emotionally unsettling, beautifully written, a little weird, and linger long after you finish them.

Horror books about Cults, where terror is permeated by religion, closed communities and disturbing brainwashing. I will keep and eye open for more recs from the Pagebound club 👁️!

the gurls NEED to read horror books 💋 i wouldn’t say these are all horror but that’s left to the reader to make that assumption

Following women on journeys to do weird and maybe violent things.

supporting women's rights and very very wrongs

pink, sophisticated & sometimes fatale <3 (added some essential nonfic & poetry!)

books with characters who are in their 20s (and trying to figure out their 20s). primarily but not exclusively lit fic.

Fiction has always been where truth hides. Across horror, thriller, literary fiction, fantasy & mystery every book on this list has something to say about power, who holds it, who destroys it, and how it reproduces itself.
