A list containing some of the best indie authors I have come across!

Tragic and heartbreaking

for this list, i am specifically looking into creating an extensive list of novels whose narratives center in some way film as an art or an industry. these are fictional explorations of what it means to make, love, fear, consume, be consumed by cinema.

open to suggestions! this won’t be a very selective list - anything that in some way heavily features film can be included!

Terror Academy series by Nicholas Pine

When people leave, they do not take themselves back. inspired by this tumblr quote: "I make my ramen the way a friend taught me in eleventh grade. Every fall, I listen to a playlist made for me by a boy I drove across a border to hook up with. I eat sushi because a girl who won't talk to me anymore made me try it."

[open to suggestions]

Some people carry their childhood like a deadbody. These are stories where childhood is not a golden haze but a weight, something dragged forward into adulthood. The children in these pages do not get to be children for long. They endure.

[open to suggestions]

a compendium of all the american girl doll books for those of us who were raised by their trauma, strength, and bravery

texts about generational curses within families, featuring a touch of strangeness/surrealism/wonder/magical realism.

Sapphic stories with second chance trope

Books to eventually buy/borrow and read

SFF featuring second worlds and worldbuilding that reflect and engage with hopes, anxieties, and imaginations about human activity and its influence on the environment + environmental justice. Always open to suggestions! (Note that I am using “second world” very loosely here, to mean both traditional second worlds and/or versions of Earth or parts of Earth that are so distant/strange as to be unrecognizable)

Incredible fantasy, horror, and mythobiography by Native authors

Sapphic romances where at least one MC has at least one child who are a major factor in the story. Only the first book in a big series.

a curriculum for eco-philosophy, ecology, capitalism and how it relates to climate, etc etc.

a collection of slightly offbeat, possibly mismatched meditations on living, spirit, helping oneself, god, the universe...
