WELCOME to Rabid Reader Recommendations, or R3 WEDNESDAYS! We host this discussion the first Wednesday of every month; it’s a great opportunity to recommend and discuss works you have enjoyed in the queer science fiction genre. These recommendations may end up on a file you can access on our website–stay tuned for details.
For the second R3, the theme is: HORROR! (Any sort of horror–paranormal, magical realism, sci fi, fantasy–but it has to be queer speculative fiction.)
HOW IT WORKS:
- This is a reader discussion. Don’t recommend your own works–get someone to do it for you!
- The works have to be related to the theme (though I’m flexible).
- Please include a Goodreads link or something comparable. You can create a new comment for each recommendation if you’d like.
If you have any questions, please consult Ben Brock, your QSF reviewer!
Like I said, I consider ‘Tokyo Babylon’ horror, since it’s almost the perfect, nightmarish inversion of a coming of age romance. It’s also my favorite manga.
‘Queer Fear’, ‘Daughters of Darkness’, ‘Dark Angels’, and ‘Sons of Darkness’ are all excellent anthologies in the horror genre as well.
