looking for queer or women centered horror books I can buy my friends without themes of sexual assault/rape. i’ve noticed this is a common occurrence in a lot of horror books. okay with mentions of it but no graphic scenes or details please.

I loved Our Wives Under the Sea by Julia Armfield. There’s also
Into the Drowning Deep by Mira Grant.
Spread Me by Sarah Gailey
Is supernatural horror okay? The main character is female in The Haunting of Paynes Hollow by Kelley Armstrong. I recently finished it and it was amazing.
Following!!! Great q!
Sapphic horror with no SA:
We Used to Live Here by Marcus Kliewer
Carmilla by Sheridan Le Fanu
The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson
Our Wives Under the Sea by Julia Armfield
Hide by Kiersten White
Paradise Rot by Jenny Hval
Ghost Wall by Sarah Moss
Camp Damascus by Chuck Tingle
Bury Your Gays by Chuck Tingle. Not women-centred but queer and no graphic depiction of SA. It does deal with homophobia and child abuse though, I don’t know if that’s a deal breaker on its own
