Hey! Im looking to read some gay romances for pride month but I’m not too well versed in the romance genre so looking for some help. I’m a little picky with my romances, I don’t like anything too cute or wholesome or lighthearted, I love more like horror/thriller romances and tragedies, something a lil darker and grittier if possible. Bonus points if the characters are bisexual, extra bonus points for non-traditional relationship dynamics. My favorites are The Corruption of Hollis Brown, The Song of Achilles and the Captive Prince, would love some suggestions if anyone knows anything similar, thanks! 🙂

Red X by David Demchuk
Sacrament by Clive Barker
Poppy Z. Brite’s novels
The Only Safe Place Left is the Dark by Warren Wagner.
If you’re okay with manga, The Summer Hikaru Died by Mokumokuren.
(Not “romances” but there are mlm romances in them) happy pride 🏳️🌈
Check out Scarlett Drake’s books – Oleander, Hamartia, Limerence.
Edit: also, A Strange and Stubborn Endurance (and the sequel) by Foz Meadows. Similar to Captive Prince, heavy on the political intrigue.
The Shards by Bret Easton Ellis, though this is mostly thriller and less romance.
The Monster of Elendhaven by Jennifer Giesbrecht
