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!
Our next list is queer gothic novels!
This is for readers who loved books like Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia, What Moves the Dead by T. Kingfisher and Carmilla by Sheridan Le Fanu!
For this list, we defined gothic books as writing that employs dark and picturesque scenery,
startling and melodramatic narrative devices, and an overall atmosphere of mystery, fear, and dread. Often, gothics will revolve around a large, ancient house that conceals a terrible secret or serves as the refuge of an especially frightening and threatening character.
Do you have any others you would add to this list? Authors please feel free to self-promote your queer gothic books in the thread!
