The Best LGBTQIA+ Horror (16 books)

This isn't just a comprehensive list of horror novels that include LGBTQIA+ characters, these are the ones that did it best. To qualify, the main characters need to be LQBTQIA+ (gay best friends, coded characters, and random side characters don't count), the book needs to be horror, and it needs to be good. This list is not limited to fiction. Non-fiction books about LGBTQIA+ horror also qualify.
