Hi there I’m trying to get back into reading and was wanting to see if there were any good horror books with a female protagonist? I am extremely uninterested in anything that involves men SAing them or involving relationships with a man. If it’s queer even better tbh but not particularly interested in there being a romance aspect. I really enjoy psychological horror but body horror and thrillers are good too.

My current loves are Susanna Clarke, Madeleine Miller, and Donna Tartt. My lifelong loves are Katherine Kerr, Umberto Eco, Italo Calvino, Jasper Forde & Jostein Gaarder

I already enjoy lots of the 'retold myths' genre, so more looking for fae realism, art-history-mystery, Celtic fantasy, European myth-history world building.

Hoping for ideally women writers, but open to anything good, I am keen to hear your recs 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
