Hi! Just wondering if anyone has any book recommendations that are written in 1st or 2nd person? My sister would like to get into reading but doesn’t seem to like books that are in 3rd person.

hi my loves! i realllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly want to get into horror more this year, bc it is a way to explore (my) queerness in a way i havent truly gone deep into before. i am a huge scaredy cat though so... anyone have any recs from this quest or elsewhere to ease me into it?

thinking of some things below that might help, but lmk if i can clarify more:

no's-ish -i am mainly scared of body horror or too much gore -idk if this counts but i do love stranger things, and the queer elements of it -i can do comics and graphic novels (bc i prefer these to ease me into any genre) if they're more lighthearted (??help??? maybe this genre isnt for me lol), i guess bc seeing scary things is worse than reading them for me? -i can do low to medium levels of psychological vibes -i don't think i can deal with sad/unjust endings or like if someone is left alone at the end of the world lol that would break me -maybe not future sci fi stuff but idk?? i like people surviving/hea in dystopia but also the end of the world kinda scares me so i dunno -i hate when animals get hurt, esp when they are hurt by humans so maybe not that??

yeses -cryptids are cool to me! -something that might help me heal from ptsd, help me accept my differences, see myself in weird (weird is ofc good) characters -i wish i knew more about what i like so would love some guidance there on what my options even are!

i have a feeling this is such a stretch but maybe even advice on how to ease in or how you got acclimated to/fell in love with queer horror would be awesome!

edit: thank you all SOOOO MUCH you're all so amazing wow. i feel so at home and appreciate your recs so much :) i'll start off w ya horror and stay active in forums following along on your quest readalongs! so excited and thankful you all helped me find ways i could engage with this genre safely

edit for those who find this later with the same question-ish in mind, i compiled all the recs below into a shelf linked here but if you all think it'd function better as a list lmk i can do that!)
