this is a brilliantly literary safic novel it explores the complexities of love and relationships in such a brutally honest way as to probably trigger a lot of readers and make people upset because you could so easily see yourself and your situation in this and you might not like it

Loved

I honestly don't feel comfortable saying much more about this book but fair warning even though it's not strictly horror this is easily the most shocking upsetting and potentially traumatizing book on this list so tread carefully but I think it's a masterpiece

Loved

when you begin you feel like you're reading a standard dark Academia novel but as all the rules and walls Fall Away you find yourself in a Sapphic vampire story a very sensual erotic story of saphic taboo sex and blood and I absolutely adored it

Loved

this is a very cynical dark and twisted thing a book that's so thoroughly explores socialist and anti-patriarchal themes it is claustrophobic it is enclosed it is gothic it is Medieval and it is delicious

Loved

this is a stressful book and it's pretty long as well it's like 600 pages so that is 600 pages of stress it is aggressively feminist it is discom comforting and it is fantastic

Loved

this is a really discomforting and certainly subversive novel unlike anything you've ever read before it's a real cult classic as I said people really adore this and if you haven't read it you'll read it and see why

Loved

if you've watched this channel for any amount of time you'll know that this is one of my favorite novels of all time tell me I'm worthless by Allison rumit a twisted piece of modern gothic fiction heavily inspired by the likes of Shirley Jackson and other haunted house novelists
