This is just something I'm working on because I've decided this is my favorite trope. I'll be collecting here, so don't expect it to be amazing right now 😅.

I love horror and I'm really interested in seeing how they genre shows up in different countries and parts of the world. I am making a list of all the books I have currently collected that take place in countries other than the United States, England, Canada, and Australia. I will add as I find more. If I made a mistake about a book, please let me know.

It could just be me, but I feel that the main characters (or main side characters) of books are rarely old women (60+). I've found that I really enjoy such books so I wanted to make a list of books that feature old women (who I usually find to be cool) who are either the main characters or important side characters.
