Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya came onto my radar via her essays and pop culture criticism on Autostraddle (where she is Managing Editor) and Catapult, among other outlets.

Maggie reviews The Luminous Dead by Caitlin Starling
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link I have been really into horror lately, and finding a lesbian sci-fi horror was a real boon for me, and The Luminous Dead by Caitlin Starling was a real page-turner. With a spine-tingling atmosphere, a killer setting, and a cast of two, The Luminous Dead draws you into the story as steadilyRead More
Meagan Kimberly reviews White is for Witching by Helen Oyeyemi
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link It’s hard to summarize Helen Oyeyemi’s White is for Witching, as this is a novel less with plot and more with vibes. But to the best of my ability, a young girl, Miranda, develops an eating disorder called pica, where she eats and hungers for things that areRead More
Maggie reviews Queer Little Nightmares edited by David Ly and Daniel Zomparelli
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link Queer Little Nightmares, an anthology edited by David Ly and Daniel Zomparelli is a fun and sometimes terrifying collection of queer horror writing.

Danika reviews The Restless Dark by Erica Waters
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link During October this year, I tried to pack my TBR with seasonal, Halloween-adjacent reads, and The Restless Dark looked like the perfect match. It’s a sapphic YA horror/thriller book set at a true crime podcast event where listeners compete to try to find the unrecovered bones of aRead More
Danika reviews House of Hunger by Alexis Henderson
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link On paper, this should have been the perfect book for me to read Halloween month. I’m fascinated by the historical figure of Elizabeth Bathory, I love a (fictional) obsessive and unhealthy sapphic relationship, and this sounds like it would be a blood-soaked, sexy Gothic in the vein ofRead More
Danika reviews The Book Eaters by Sunyi Dean
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link This dark fairy tale dances on the line between fantasy and horror. It follows Devon, a book eater, who is part of one of the aristocratic houses of book eaters (think vampires, but they eat books instead of drinking blood). She is one of very few women bookRead More
Larkie reviews Nothing But Blackened Teeth by Cassandra Khaw
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link Trigger warning for suicidal ideation A compact novella with a haunted house story, strained friendships, and a hungry ghost, I had high expectations for Nothing But Blackened Teeth. Were they met? Kind of, but overall the book fell a little flat for me. First off, there are fiveRead More
Danika reviews Our Wives Under the Sea by Julia Armfield
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link I am a scaredy cat and avoid horror most of the year. But when September and October come around, I find myself being pulled towards all things creepy, witchy, and thriller-y. Of course, queer horror goes on the top of my TBR in those months. Fun fact: I’veRead More
