Horror Spotlight discussion

Hi !
I'm working on an essay about modern gothic female literature (in french language) and I have a chapter about YA.

Do you have recs for gothic YA (with female/feminist focus) ?

Thanks in advance :)

I haven't read all of these, so I may be wrong on some them - definitely look into them first:

The Agony House - Cherie Priest & Tara O'Conner
All the Lovely Bad Ones - Mary Downing Hahn
Alone - Cyn Balog
Amity - Micol Ostow
And the Trees Crept In - Dawn Kurtagich
City of Ghosts - Victoria Schwab
Frozen Charlotte - Alex Bell
The Haunted - Danielle Vega
Long Lankin - Lindsey Barraclough
The Madman's Daughter - Megan Shepherd
Mary: The Summoning - Hillary Monahan
Sawkill Girls - Claire Legrand
Say Her Name - Juno Dawson
Teeth in the Mist - Dawn Kurtagich
Trinity Row - Kelly Martin

Oh thank you ^^ I will check them !
I already read the books written by Dawn Kurtagich and Alex Bell (yes it's gothic) and Say her name (no such gothic).
I just finished House of Fury by Madeleine Roux and it can be ad to the list. :)

i think Amy Lukavics is mostly YA. i've only read 2 of her books. The Women in the Walls was kinda gothic, a little. i don't know about her other books.

, and were fantastic, imho.

Oh yes you're right ! Her others books are more modern horror.

Yes! The descriptions in that one were horrible (in a good way!!).

Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea by April Genevieve Tucholke
The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein by by Kiersten White
The Stalking Jack the Ripper series by Kerri Maniscalco
The Strange Case of the Alchemist's Daughter by Theodora Goss

The last 3 actually use characters from classic Victorian Gothic novels in their original Gothic settings. I've read and great enjoyed all of them!

Oh, also, pretty much anything by Leanna Renee Hieber. Check out all of her books. Some are YA and some are more adult.

thank you :)
I'm really interested in Tucholke as her books are translated into french (better for my essay even if I love reading in english)
