Stories where painters and/or paintings play a major role.

All (or almost all) of my favorite books

books that leave you hunting for answers in unusual structures, presentations, and fragments - from words, to images, to abstraction of form altogether.

Happy Halloween! We love monster books. So here's a pile of books, across genres, that have monsters as characters. And they have queer characters! And sometimes, the monster is (one of) the queer characters! But not always. (This list is presented by Duck Prints Press, the indie publisher focused on publishing queer art and stories by queer creators! A group of us collaborate to make these recommendations.)

These are the 2026 Women’s prize shortlist. A competition that celebrates women in literature ❤️. The winner this year was ‘The Correspondent’ by Virginia Evans

Recommendations encouraged.

Books with main characters who are artists! Painting, illustrating, singing, acting, writing and more. Any genre welcome.

It may have supernatural elements, but not too many. It may have magic, but subtle. The world may be a little different to the one we know, but not too much. It may be dark, but not full on horror (still adults only I'd say).

I'm looking for more if you have suggestions !

Stories of ancient, subterranean, or otherworldly entities reshaping humanity. Recommendations welcome.
