magically prolonged or eternal seasons

Literary novels that explore crises of masculinity. Particularly interested in outsiders, weirdos, and capitalist alienation in books where the self is in conflict with the masculine ideal, the masculine ideal itself is in flux, or the masculine ideal has been rendered obsolete. Protagonists must be men, they can be criminals or saints, sympathetic or malicious, angry or sad. Veering more towards novels published recently/post-WW2.

This is the compendium of books from the 2012 edition.

Slasher - a subgenre of horror involving a killer or a group of killers stalking and murdering a group of people, often by use of bladed or sharp tools.

This is a big list of (almost) all slasher books (only first books in a series). As long as there is a killer(s), victims and blood, it counts!

All the icons from 2019 forward

in which characters (real and fictional) deal with being refugees, exiles, or immigrants, sometimes staying in exile and sometimes journeying back home “if mastering the language is too hard, only be patient; the telegram imploring your return won’t need translation.”

A collection of mostly Asian literature that just have the most whimsical feel to them. They’re feel good, but they will make you cry and think deeply about the world around you.

Nonfiction books about tattoos! The historic, sociological and cultural significance of tattooing and tattoo art. Will aim to be intersectional and a diverse range of approaches.

Every queer book I’ve ever read and loved. Some might be cliche, cringe, or basic, but I don’t care. Enjoy! I certainly did :)

Note: this list includes both queer-focused novels (romance) and novels of other genres that have queer main characters. Also it will have a lot of Casey McQuiston.
