fall reading list 📚🍂
Fall reading list
This is an ambitious list, and I'm not sure I'll manage to read so many books in three months, or even that I'll be in the mood to read these books. I'm mostly a mood reader, so this is more of an aspirational list than a binding one. And anyway, why would I not want to read about murder during fall?
The Starving Saints; by Caitlin Starling -- queer historical horror
The Blonde Dies First; by Joelle Wellington -- queer thriller
The Golden Spoon; by Jessa Maxwell -- mystery & thriller
Only a Monster; by Vanessa Len -- fantasy
Master of One; by Jaida Jones & Danielle Bennett -- queer fantasy
Escaping Mr. Rochester; by L.L. McKinney -- queer historical romance
Their Vicious Games; by Joelle Wellington -- mystery & thriller
The Weight of Blood; by Tiffany D. Jackson -- thriller & horror
Monday's Not Coming; by Tiffany D. Jackson -- mystery & thriller
Surrender Your Sons; by Adam Sass -- queer mystery & thriller
Dumb Witness; by Agatha Christie -- murder mystery
The Hollow and the Haunted; by Camilla Raines -- queer fantasy
The Undoing of Violet Claybourne; by Emily Critchley -- historical mystery
Murder Your Employer; by Rupert Holmes -- mystery & thriller
Book Boyfriend; by Kris Ripper -- queer romance (shockingly, this book isn't about murder or other dark themes & deeds)
A Dark and Drowning Tide; by Allison Saft -- queer Gothic fantasy & romance
A Darker Mischief; by Derek Milman -- queer horror & mystery
A Study in Drowning; by Ava Reid -- fantasy & dark academia
Not Good for Maidens; by Tori Bovalino -- queer fantasy & horror
Katabasis; by R.F. Kuang -- fantasy, dark academia & romance
Death at Morning House; by Maureen Johnson -- queer mystery & thriller
Murray Hall; by Milo Allan -- queer historical mystery
Till Death; by Kellan McDaniel -- queer fantasy, horror & romance
And He Shall Appear; by Kate van der Borgh -- horror, fantasy & mystery

Some of my autumn/winter reading list🍂❄️
Extremely Ambitious Fall Reading List (30 Books🍂)
Fall Reading Starts Tomorrow!
I enjoyed reading off of a themed list so much for Summer Reading that I decided to make one for fall, too. This one has spooky, scary, and creepy stories on it. Obviously. Some of them are really old, and some are newer. Most of them were pulled from various reading lists I've reblogged over the years.
So, in no particular order, here's my Fall Reading List:
The Woman in White - Wilkie Collins
The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane - Katherine Howe
The Moonstone - Wilkie Collins
Call of Cthulhu - HP Loevcraft
Carmilla - Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu
Practical Magic - Alice Hoffman
The Turn of the Screw - Henry James
Bright Smoke, Cold Fire - Rosamund Hodge
The Phantom of the Opera - Gaston Laroux
The Scarlet Gospels - Clive Barker
The Vampire: A Tale - John Polidari
House of Leaves - Mark Z. Danielewski
Confessions of an English Opium Eater - Thomas De Quincy
Enduring Love - Ian McEwan
The Cask of Amontillado - Edgar Allen Poe
And Then There Were None - Agatha Christie
The Tell-Tale Heart - Edgar Allan Poe
Ghost Stories of an Antiquary - MR James
The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde - Robert Louis Stevenson
Rebecca - Daphne de Maurier
The Castle of Otranto - Horace Walpole
Interview With a Vampire - Anne Rice
An Occurance at Owl Creek Bridge - Ambrose Bierce
Eileen - Ottessa Moshfegh
The King in Yellow - Robert W. Chambers
White is for Witching - Helen Oyeyemi
The Legend of Sleepy Hollow - Washington Irving
Zombie - Joyce Carol Oates
The Yellow Wallpaper - Charlotte Perkins Gillman
The Talented Mr. Ripley - Patricia Highsmith
Oedipus, King of Thebes - Sophocles
Young Goodman Brown - Nathanial Hawthorne
A lot of these are going to come from Project Gutenberg, but I own quite a few, too. Only a few are coming from the library.
I'm starting with Practical Magic - which I've never read - and I'm super excited. I love the movie and can't wait to read the book!
