A new list highlights eight queer folk horror books for readers seeking folklore-inspired tales.
The list recommends titles including The Year of the Witching by Alexis Henderson and Chlorine by Jade Song. Other books featured are Meet Me at the Surface by Jodie Matthews and Monstrilio by Gerardo Sámano Córdova. The recommendations emphasize queerness at the center of folk horror stories involving isolation and rituals. Folk horror is described as tied with gothic horror in popularity among the subgenres.
