Queer Book Recommendations

Every once in a while I like sharing some queer book recommendations on here as I read a lot and I get requests to share some of the books I love, so here we go! 

Tell Me I'm Worthless: Three years ago, Alice spent one night in an abandoned house with her friends Ila and Hannah. Since then, things have not been going well. Alice is living a haunted existence, selling videos of herself cleaning for money, going to parties she hates, drinking herself to sleep. She hasn’t spoken to Ila since they went into the House. She hasn’t seen Hannah either.

Our Wives Under The Sea: Miri thinks she has got her wife back, when Leah finally returns after a deep sea mission that ended in catastrophe. It soon becomes clear, though, that Leah may have come back wrong. Whatever happened in that vessel, whatever it was they were supposed to be studying before they were stranded on the ocean floor, Leah has carried part of it with her, onto dry land and into their home. 

You Made a Fool of Death with Your Beauty: Feyi Adekola wants to learn how to be alive again.It’s been five years since the accident that killed the love of her life and she’s almost a new person now—an artist with her own studio, and sharing a brownstone apartment with her ride-or-die best friend, Joy, who insists it’s time for Feyi to ease back into the dating scene. Feyi isn’t ready for anything serious, but a steamy encounter at a rooftop party cascades into a whirlwind summer she could have never imagined: a luxury trip to a tropical island, decadent meals in the glamorous home of a celebrity chef, and a major curator who wants to launch her art career.

Silver Under Nightfall: Remy Pendergast is many things: the only son of the Duke of Valenbonne (though his father might wish otherwise), an elite bounty hunter of rogue vampires, and an outcast among his fellow Reapers. His mother was the subject of gossip even before she eloped with a vampire, giving rise to the rumors that Remy is half-vampire himself. Though the kingdom of Aluria barely tolerates him, Remy’s father has been shaping him into a weapon to fight for the kingdom at any cost.

Disintegrate/Dissociate: In her powerful debut collection of poetry, Arielle Twist unravels the complexities of human relationships after death and metamorphosis. In these spare yet powerful poems, she explores, with both rage and tenderness, the parameters of grief, trauma, displacement, and identity. Weaving together a past made murky by uncertainty and a present which exists in multitudes, Arielle Twist poetically navigates through what it means to be an Indigenous trans woman, discovering the possibilities of a hopeful future and a transcendent, beautiful path to regaining softness. 

The Perks of Loving a Wallflower: As a master of disguise, Thomasina Wynchester can be a polite young lady—or a bawdy old man. She’ll do whatever it takes to solve the cases her family takes on. But when Tommy’s beautiful new client turns out to be the highborn lady she’s secretly smitten with, more than her mission is at stake . . . 

It Came from the Closet: Queer Reflections on Horror: Horror movies hold a complicated space in the hearts of the queer community: historically misogynist, and often homo- and transphobic, the genre has also been inadvertently feminist and open to subversive readings. Common tropes—such as the circumspect and resilient “final girl,” body possession, costumed villains, secret identities, and things that lurk in the closet—spark moments of eerie familiarity and affective connection. Still, viewers often remain tasked with reading themselves into beloved films, seeking out characters and set pieces that speak to, mirror, and parallel the unique ways queerness encounters the world. 

Refusing Compulsory Sexuality: A Black Asexual Lens on Our Sex-Obsessed Culture: Everything you know about sex and asexuality is (probably) wrong. The notion that everyone wants sex–and that we all have to have it–is false. It’s intertwined with our ideas about capitalism, race, gender, and queerness. And it impacts the most marginalized among us. For asexual folks, it means that ace and A-spec identity is often defined by a queerness that’s not queer enough, seen through a lens of perceived lack: lack of pleasure, connection, joy, maturity, and even humanity.

I binge read Silver Under Nightfall in under a day and now I am sleep deprived but it was worth it

I will be waiting for the sequel

Vampire hunter x vampires poly fantasy novel with plot and adventure and danger

I can see the Trephacard inspiration SO clearly but they're not straight up clones of the Castlevania trio either. Remy Pendergast has a lot of 'my favourite fandom interpretation of Trevor Belmont' DNA what with him being shunned but still trying to do what's right and caring more than is probably good for him, that's the clearest parallel as well the 'you're hot and I am confused and annoyed by it' dynamic that develops between Remy and Zidan. The plot itself is very engaging and original.

The author really went "here's the badass poly trio we deserve"

Rin Chupeco I owe you my life

#Silver Under Nightfall #Fuck it I am tagging with #Trephacard #Because if you like that you will probably like this #I only get 15 minutes of web browsing on my phone every hour I can't make a detailed post

Reasons remington adrian pendergast instantly became a favorite character

look let's just be honest here. Trevor belmont vibes. he's a sad emotionally scarred foul mouthed kindhearted vampire hunter i was kind of sunk from go

despite being raised by someone campaigning HARD for Worst Dad Ever as a living tool for vengeance he is completely and fundamentally incapable of not doing the right thing. even and almost especially if that's gonna make his life harder

You've heard of dual wielder but have you heard of quadruple wielder? Man can't even pick a single weapon truly a bicon tbfh

He also helps every person in need regardless of how they treat him. You cannot convince me this man hasn't nursed an injured bird back to health at some point in his life

Made a vampire soup

"What's the word for fucker in this language?" *accidentally calls opponent an alpaca mid-battle*

Gets adorably flustered when people show genuine interest in him dude can merc a pack of vamps in like eight seconds but tell him you like him and his brain shuts down and needs three to five business days to recover

The Trauma

Attracted his love interests nearly exclusively through negative charisma (loses to one in a fight and is horny about it/teaches the other swear words after sobbing in a garden)

#he is a special boy who deserves love ❤️ #remy pendergast my beloved #remy pendergast #read silver under nightfall it's so good #plus i refuse to shut up about it so you might as well treat yourself #silver under nightfall #rin chupeco #spoilers #silver under nightfall spoilers #vampires #castlevania #trevor belmont

Top Tier Quotes from Silver Under Nightfall

[seeing Zidan for the first time] He was exceedingly handsome. […] Remy hated him already.

He couldn’t stop watching them both. She was back to her chipper self and she‘d never been more beautiful. Malekh too remained as elegant and commanding as he‘d always been. And Remy took that personally.

Xiaodan: "He said he'd rather die than take blood from a vampire. Remy: "Fuck what I said, do what you have to do to get us out of here". Xiaodan: "Give us permission." Remy: "I‘m dying. Fucking fuck me if that‘s what it takes."

Remy: "It’s just that you’re always so hard to read, I never know if you want to fight me or fuck me". Zidan: “It’s both, Pendergast. It’s always been both."

Book Recommendations: LGBTQIA+ Fantasy

Her Majesty’s Royal Coven by Juno Dawson

At the dawn of their adolescence, on the eve of the summer solstice, four young girls--Helena, Leonie, Niamh and Elle--took the oath to join Her Majesty's Royal Coven, established by Queen Elizabeth I as a covert government department. Now, decades later, the witch community is still reeling from a civil war and Helena is now the reigning High Priestess of the organization. Yet Helena is the only one of her friend group still enmeshed in the stale bureaucracy of HMRC. Elle is trying to pretend she's a normal housewife, and Niamh has become a country vet, using her powers to heal sick animals. In what Helena perceives as the deepest betrayal, Leonie has defected to start her own more inclusive and intersectional coven, Diaspora. And now Helena has a bigger problem. A young warlock of extraordinary capabilities has been captured by authorities and seems to threaten the very existence of HMRC. With conflicting beliefs over the best course of action, the four friends must decide where their loyalties lie: with preserving tradition, or doing what is right.

This is the first volume of the “Her Majesty’s Royal Coven” series. 

The Ballad of Perilous Graves by Alex Jennings

Nola is a city full of wonders. A place of sky trolleys and dead cabs, where haints dance the night away and Wise Women keep the order, and where songs walk, talk and keep the spirit of the city alive. To those from Far Away, Nola might seem strange. To failed magician, Perilous Graves, it’s simply home. Then the rhythm stutters.

Nine songs of power have escaped from the magical piano that maintains the city’s beat and without them, Nola will fail. Unexpectedly, Perry and his sister, Brendy, are tasked with saving the city. But a storm is brewing and the Haint of All Haints is awake. Even if they capture the songs, Nola’s time might be coming to an end.

Silver Under Nightfall by Rin Chupeco

Remy Pendergast is many things: the only son of the Duke of Valenbonne (though his father might wish otherwise), an elite bounty hunter of rogue vampires, and an outcast among his fellow Reapers. His mother was the subject of gossip even before she eloped with a vampire, giving rise to the rumors that Remy is half-vampire himself. Though the kingdom of Aluria barely tolerates him, Remy’s father has been shaping him into a weapon to fight for the kingdom at any cost.

When a terrifying new breed of vampire is sighted outside of the city, Remy prepares to investigate alone. But then he encounters the shockingly warmhearted vampire heiress Xiaodan Song and her infuriatingly arrogant fiancé, vampire lord Zidan Malekh, who may hold the key to defeating the creatures—though he knows associating with them won’t do his reputation any favors. When he’s offered a spot alongside them to find the truth about the mutating virus Rot that’s plaguing the kingdom, Remy faces a choice.

It’s one he’s certain he’ll regret.

But as the three face dangerous hardships during their journey, Remy develops fond and complicated feelings for the couple. He begins to question what he holds true about vampires, as well as the story behind his own family legacy. As the Rot continues to spread across the kingdom, Remy must decide where his loyalties lie: with his father and the kingdom he’s been trained all his life to defend or the vampires who might just be the death of him.

This is the first volume in the “Silver Under Nightfall” series. 

The Book Eaters by Sunyi Dean

Out on the Yorkshire Moors lives a secret line of people for whom books are food, and who retain all of a book's content after eating it. To them, spy novels are a peppery snack; romance novels are sweet and delicious. Eating a map can help them remember destinations, and children, when they misbehave, are forced to eat dry, musty pages from dictionaries.

Devon is part of The Family, an old and reclusive clan of book eaters. Her brothers grow up feasting on stories of valor and adventure, and Devon―like all other book eater women―is raised on a carefully curated diet of fairy tales and cautionary stories.

But real life doesn't always come with happy endings, as Devon learns when her son is born with a rare and darker kind of hunger―not for books, but for human minds.
