Whether you love to hate or hate to love 'em, these literary bad girls are anything but well-behaved. *Disclaimer: we do not literally support the illegal and oft cruel behavior of these protagonists (usually); we support the authors bold enough to write them (always).

Hi everyone! I wanted to share how this quest was curated, and how suggestions and new additions will be evaluated. This quest first and foremost celebrates women behaving badly, whether that's through revenge, selfishness, unhinged desire, or simply a loose screw. There are (thankfully) many examples of such women in every genre, but this quest leans towards the "weird girl lit fic" realm. Weird girl litfic isn't an official sub genre of course; it's more of a vibe, you know it when you see it. Books in this sub genre tend to be literary or contemporary fiction with some thriller and horror mixed in, which is reflected in the quest list.
For new additions, I will be prioritizing new releases. There may be some exceptions if I missed an excellent backlist book, but in general I want the quest list to grow with books that will be published in the months and years to come :) Right now, I'm going through books published in 2025 that would be excellent fits. What Hunger by Catherine Dang was just added - let me know which other standout titles were published in 2025 and I'll do some research!
There are some popular backlist titles I intentionally did not include since they're well represented in other Quests (for example, Gone Girl and Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil). Others fit the theme but not the genre (examples: Poppy War and Iron Widow).
Hope this clarifies the criteria and helps steer suggestions! Stay bad 🔪💄🚬
