5 Short Books on My Queer Halloween Readathon TBR

A Game in Yellow by Hailey Piper promises to be a sapphic, mind-melting horror erotica novella, and that definitely earns it a spot on my queer Halloween readathon TBR.

I loved Boys Weekend, so I’m excited to pick up Mattie Lubchansky’s new trans horror graphic novel, Simplicity. The reviews say it “blends dystopian science fiction and folk horror,” which is definitely intriguing.

Sapphic gothic monster romance? Say no more! But Not Too Bold by Hache Pueyo has been on my TBR since it was announced, and this seems like the perfect time to read it. Right now, I’m midway through another sapphic monster romance, Someone You Can Build a Nest In by John Wiswell, and I’m having a great time with it.

Graveneye by Sloane Leong and Anna Bowles is another queer horror graphic novel on my stack, this one about a sentient haunted house in the woods. Sold!

(Content warning: mention of suicide.) Coup de Grâce by Sofia Ajram looks like a fascinating horror novella about a gay man whose suicide plan is interrupted when he steps off the subway into a looping, unending station. Spatial horror is my achilles heel, so this is a must read for me.
