Looking for some queer and/or diverse horror recs!
Hi everyone! I've been getting super into reading horror lately and I'm looking for some queer/diverse recommendations!
I'm not a huge fan of any book with romance as the main plotline (not sure how common that is in the horror genre but 🤷♀️) and bonus points if any of the characters are nonbinary!
I love gore and body horror (and before you recommend You Weren't Meant to be Human...I do not enjoy reading about pregnancy). I've enjoyed the T. Kingfisher Sworn Soldier series and I love when the story has a bit of mystery to it.
I like paranormal stuff, especially vampires. I also enjoy historical settings. I read The Buffalo Hunter Hunter for my irl book club and really enjoyed that!
I'm always down to diversify my reading, too, so any horror that's been translated or any recommendations from authors of color are greatly appreciated! Feel free to mention novellas as well :) I'm not super interested in short stories but I could be persuaded XD
