Discussion Threads

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

My almost-13 daughter wants to read things that are "scary and gay" so hit me up with your YA/middle grade lesbian horror recs.

I wish she was local so I could point her at my friend Eleanor's Creepy Girl Book Club.

Actually, I can rec one book: Holy Black's Tithe. Which is a Fae intersecting with the real world type story but has some intense Gay and intense Scary.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I don’t know how scary she’ll find it, but she might enjoy Cinderella is Dead.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Maybe Alix. E. Harrow's Fractured Fables novellas?

Has anyone read Tender is the Flesh? I’m reading it now, and it is quite possibly the most disturbing book I’ve ever read.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Jess, she might like The Last Girls Standing, by Jennifer Dugan, or the graphic novel Squad, by Maggie Tokuda-Hall.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

OH, good one. And that reminds me there's a new Alix Harrow book out - I don't know if it's scary or gay, I pre-ordered it and don't even remember the description

It's the next book up for my friend Eleanor's Creepy Girls Book Club!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I finished it last night. It was deeply disturbing and thought provoking and so well written.

This is the root of ambivalence to horror - it lures me in with being thought-provoking and well-written but gives me nightmares or otherwise messes with my head. A real attraction-avoidance thing that I keep penduluming away in. And I have to go through the dance with every book/movie/whatever, it's tiring!

I’m more likely to get nightmares from visual media than written or audio media.
