"She's Going Through Something"

Horror books where a female MC is "going through something" and it's (mostly) society's fault. Others might think she's going crazy, or seeing things that aren't really there... But is she, really?

These books explore the real horrors women have to face in society through the storytelling conventions of the horror genre.

Horror is not my thing usually but I love this list’s premise! Which of these is beginner friendly?

I'd say that depends a bit on what kind of horror elements you think you'd be most comfortable with šŸ¤” Is there anything specific you'd like to avoid, like gore or sexual violence, for example?
