Queer Thriller Books by Title |
A short list of dark thriller books. These books are generally gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender in nature. But while they do not quite qualify as horror, they should still make your heart race.
These are the items that have been found, a general description, and the general rating by the fans. (note: the ratings shows not only how good the story is, but also how well the horror or creatures are portrayed, and openly queer it is. A really good non-gay item might score very low).
