Anon who asked for book recommendations here. I like both fantasy and horror mainly, I think sci-fi is also one of my favorite genres. So anything along those lines is good!

awesome awesome!

I'll throw out some recs!

Horror--

Small Spaces Quartet by Katherine Arden (at least the first book for sure)

My Best Friend's Exorcism by Grady Hendrix

The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson

The Only Good Indians by Stephen Graham Jones

IT by Stephen King

The Stepford Wives by Ira Levin

Fantasy--

The Winternight Trilogy by Katherine Arden

The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab

Wicked by Gregory Maguire

The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle

Prince Ombra by Roderick MacLeish 

quick note--if you go for Prince Ombra, make sure are not reading the 2002 reprint with the gold cover from Starscape; this version is censored/abridged and basically ruined the story.

This version, which is still in print, is NOT what you want:

Go for the older print editions from the 1980s or maybe 90s too. Just not this above edition. No.

The book contains (non-graphic) child sexual abuse, violence/death, and other heavy themes. This 2002 edition was like ‘oh well let’s take out massive chunks of the story related to anything remotely dark so we can market it to modern young readers, rendering the story nonsensical in the process.’

[daemonsrhaenyras]

It’s so frustrating to rewatch the episodes with Macleish and not have the presidential staff know what’s up. Like, no, he would not make a good VP.

[achos-laazov]

In honor of its renewal, here’s my two favorite fics I wrote for Designayed Survivor

just one: an alternate version of the episode “Warriors”

what about those poor girls: Lexi MacLeish remembers her parents
