🌈 Hey Rainbow Readers! Our final list is queer horror! This is for readers who loved books like Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir, Hell Followed With Us by Andrew Joseph White, Into the Drowning Deep by Seanan McGuire and The Taking of Jake Livingston by Ryan Douglass! For this list, we defined horror as stories that create feelings of fear, dread, repulsion, and terror in the audience. Horror feeds on audience’s deepest terrors by putting life’s most frightening and perplexing things at the center of attention
We hope you have enjoyed all ten of our Pride Month book lists, you can find them all saved in our guides. All of these lists feature between 10-20 books and all books on it will have under 5,000 Goodreads ratings, with a handful on each being under 1,000! Our goal is to introduce you to new books you might have never seen otherwise. These will be a mix of indie and traditional books; and range in age category!
Do you have any others you would add to this list? Authors please feel free to self-promote your queer horror books in the comments!
