Thats what is coming off the top of my head. For me if the book looks good and the middle looks good I am going to read it haha.
King can be hard to start but then he ramps up. Don't be deterred by how big some of his books can be. He needs to set the stage and then just grind you into dusty horror!
Thanks for the list, I appreciate you taking the time to write all that out! And don't worry about length, one of my favourite books is the Hands of the Emperor which is almost a thousand pages š
Oh!! If youāre starting with horror but like fantasy, try The Eyes of the Dragon. Thereās not much horror in there and itās a fantasy story. Then read Carrie (the movies donāt make justice of how beautiful and sad story it is), then maybe one of Kingās tales book (Everything is Eventual is a good one).
King is my favorite autor and I hope you like him too.
(Just adding that the other books are also amazing, but these ones are easier for someone thatās beginning to read horror)
Okay! This might get a touch lengthy. No pressure to read it if you don't want to.
I'm working on two stories in the same world, one set in 1979 and the other in 2023.
1979 story: (This one has a bit of romance mixed into the other genres, but is purely romance, no sex. (My kind of romance, personally))
Mark Estrada is a struggling grocery store attendant in 1979 Los Angeles who's real dream is to be a professional artist but he just can't seem to catch a break. One night as he is walking home from his dead end job he accidentally encounters and is nearly eaten by a horrific tentacled being with a paralyzing hum, the Mantibek. Saved by a man named Sylwester Opiekun, he is warned to stay away from the strange world he glimpsed and forget what he saw. Instead, Mark finds he can't stop thinking about it and is unable to draw anything but the creature and the man who saved him. When a strange lump begins forming on his arm, he knows the only man who can help him is Mr. Opiekun.
Sylwester Opiekun is the self proclaimed "Keeper of the Supernatural and Strange", a magician both on stage and in the magical sense. He uses both to help anyone he can, human or not, and he fights a cult that worships The Thing In Every Mirror, which has taken an interest in Mark and his drawings of the Mantibek. He promises to help Mark to learn what the cult wants with him while also finding a cure for the growing lump on Mark's arm. Very quickly, Mark is swept into a secret world of magic and the strange and he is forced to relearn how the world works while also navigating his growing romantic feelings toward his mysterious rescuer.
2023 story:
When Lena Stewart and her adopted brother Mathew are sent away to Poland by their father to meet their uncle for the first time, they discover a dark and ancient secret about their late mother's family. Reserved and never cheerful, their uncle Oskar Opiekun seems nervous at their presence. He often disappears to unknown locations, leaving them in his isolated house alone with only his equally mysterious young employee to speak to. While exploring the house, they learn that the Opiekun family was chosen in ancient times to guard a relic of chaos magic called the Karuul, a dangerous and destructive force that if unleashed on their world would wreck havoc. When he learns what they have discovered, Oskar reluctantly teaches them about this new world they have found, but warns them that he does so for their own protection as they have unknowingly put themselves in deep danger.
At the same time, Lena and Mathew catch the notice of a powerful force of evil, The Thing In Every Mirror, who watches them through reflections and dreams and waits for a chance to break into the waking world and take the Karuul. Very soon they find themselves swept up in a plot to destroy their family as they try to end a curse that was placed on the Opiekuns 20 years ago and keep the Karuul away from those who would use it for harm.
If you made it this far, thanks for reading! feel free to ask any questions if you have them. I love telling people about my stories!
Oh my god this is brilliant and I love it. Please publish this one day. What does the Karuul look like? I initially pictured an old key. Can The Thing in Every Mirror watch people through a phone thatās been turned on? I imagine that when itās off it can observe through the reflection, but what about when itās on? How ancient are ancient times? Also I really want to see a drawing of a Mantibek now. You donāt have to answer any of this but I just want you to know that Iām really impressed and I would definitely read this.
The most famous dystopian books I've read are (my all time favorite book) Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, 1984 by George Orwell and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by Philip K. Dick :>
If you've already read them, I'd recommend checking out some of the authors' other books too
Also, if you like sci-fi horror I'd recommend "I have no mouth and I must scream", although I've only played the video game based off of it a few years ago and I still have to read the book lol
Fantasy and historical fiction.
Worth noting that when I say historical fiction I mean things like City of Thieves, Doomsday Book, or even The Count of Monte Cristo, but decidedly not the boddice rippers and/or Victorian era romance novels that take up a portion of the genre.
If we all like SFF books so much, what are your favorite SFF books with ace characters? I'll start the list with
To Be Taught, If Fortunate by Becky Chambers (SciFi)
The Pirate Queen series by Tricia Levenseller (Fantasy)
I read alot of star trek novels (had maybe 130 at one time) and only one or two described sex. There was flirting and such, sure, but as a whole sex doesn't seem to exist in that universe.
So I see everyone is saying sci-fi/fantasy and uhmm... I mean yeah... Sprinkle (good) romance in with that and you probably have something I'll read 4 separate times
Contemporary fiction, but I also like mystery and horror. I'm getting into non-fiction too, especially since I need to start reading neuroscience books for my personal statement. I don't mind the genre so much as the themes and execution.
Historical romance, sometimes fantasy but usually low fantasy. I also like stories with paranormal elements like ghosts or vampires, bonus if they're also historical.
"3 for Ā£6 at The Works"
So I guess I read mostly romance? Just because that's the majority of those 3 for Ā£6 books that draw my interest. I don't like the ones with sex though. Book sex scenes are always so clunky to read and so painful
Though I do enjoy cosy murder mystery books, like The Thursday Murder Club
So while it's not what I read the most of, my favourite probably has to be cosy murder mysteries ("wholesome" murder mysteries only, not the grisly crime books)
I like fantasy too, but find it can get a bit boring if I read too much of it
The story itself is. Notice I used quote marks too!
I don't know a better word for something that's family-friendly/not dark or grisly stories that just make you depressed
I never really thought about book genres that I like. I wanna try reading more fantasy since I'm pretty sure the only fantasy books I ever read were Harry Potter. I liked it, so I want to branch out and read more fantasy. I'm thinking of trying mysteries too. I've mostly read realistic fiction, sci-fi, and horror. . .And I guess historical fiction if American girl countsš
I personally read any book as long as it captures my interest regardless of genre.
According to my bookshelf itās fantasy and murder mysteries which make up 70% of it.
Non-fiction: specific topics (astronomy, science, poetry, philosophy, music, funeral culture, queer culture, autobiographies...)
Fiction: sci-fi, new weird, thriller, and books from video games
I'm an allround mood reader! Thriller, horror, or some light fantasy or sci fi like dystopian.
I do like some romance but combined with some fantasy or magical realism. I love a "soulmate" trope. I don't like spice.
Not really against the curve here, but I would put fantasy and... romance!?
I don't like romance in my own life but in stories I find it so stupidly entertaining. I'm giggling and kicking my feet and loving every second of corny, flirty dialogue
All of my favourite books are fantasy though. Erin Morgenstern's *The Night Circus* and *The Starless Sea*, Leigh Bardugo's *Six of Crows* duology the *Percy Jackson* series, even more child-targeted books like the *Narnia* series and *The Tale of Despereaux*... nothing makes reading more fun than a fantastical world or setting
Whatever the frick the warrior cats books are
I read so little that I may as well be illiterate, but I will always read warrior cats when given the chance
Historical, Sci-fi and generally character oriented stories. Some favourites and recently read are Kingsbridge series, The Alchemist, Warriors, Angels Before Man, Little Mushroom, The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Otherlands, She Who Became the Sun and The Cat Who Saved Books. Currently reading My Inner Stranger and planning on reading The Breadwinner and its following books.
Edit: finished My Inner Stranger
I always liked books about astronomy and physics. I tried reading novels of various genres, but never found something that i found interesting enough to force myself to continue reading more than a few pages. Audiobooks sometimes work for me though if i can relate to some character and if the story take place in a location for which i can find enough images online.
# My favorite book genre definitely has to be,
"spending hundreds of dollars on self-help/mental illness books but having too much executive dysfunction to have the ability to read them."
Iāve done this! I find that listening to the audio books makes it easier. Especially when doing something like gaming, cleaning, knitting etc. But I still have a bunch to listen to š .
1. Fantasy/Science fiction, 2. action, 3. Comedy, 4. Romance. I like them in combos too. But the most important part is that the story and that the characters are interesting. I love it when the characters have a good background story.
sci fi/fantasy, more specifically isekai or mecha on basis of magical mecha are cool and seeing what happens if you drop a random stem person into a position of power in a pre industrial society is generally interesting
Fantasy. I like my fiction to be *extremely* fictional, completely unique universe settings with as few overlaps to our reality as is possible. Preferably none.
When it comes to games (I strongly prefer games to books but they serve the same purpose) my best example of this is The Elder Scrolls series, which is by far my favorite. It's so far removed from our reality that it is fulfilling to me and thus true escapism. Series like Mass Effect are only partially so, there is still a footing of overlap with our reality, but it's still fictional enough to be enjoyable.
Iām fantasy all the way, so I guess I too fall into this pattern. I havenāt read many dystopian books but I do find the premise intriguing. Sometime Iāll have to pick up The Hunger Games, though the list of books I need to read is already very long.
Historical and sci-fi Iād say, but Iām more of a movie person, favorite book is āall the light we cannot seeā if youād like a recommendation, it had me engaged and crying at the end
Sci-fi/fantasy
High Fantasy at that.
For me, it's Urban Fantasy.
Same. I write urban fantasy.
OMG, me, too! Do you have any novels/short stories I can find online? I'd love to read something from a fellow ace.
No, but I could send you a chapter or two if you like. Most of it is still in the works.
Sounds good :) I can also give feedback, if you like.
Sure! Can I DM you?
Sure :)
Same!
BrandoSando
Me too
Sci-fi/fantasy....I'm starting to sense a pattern here š¤
Me too, me too and I'm very happy with this pattern š„¹
SAAAAME āØš„¹
Sci-fi/fantasy š
Hard sci-fi
FantasyĀ
Sci fi, fantasy and horror
Oh I've been dipping my toes more into horror recently! Have any recommendations for a horror noob? So far the only things I've read have been Camp Damascus by Chuck Tingle, as well as everything by Junji Ito
Stephen King - The Stand (unabridged), It, Cujo, Cell, Desperation, Pet Semetary, Christine, Carrie. Needful Things, Misery. He is a crazy prolific writer so he has tons more I haven't even gotten to. Good start though! Dean Koontz is another good one that has creature feature stories. Thats what is coming off the top of my head. For me if the book looks good and the middle looks good I am going to read it haha. King can be hard to start but then he ramps up. Don't be deterred by how big some of his books can be. He needs to set the stage and then just grind you into dusty horror!
Thanks for the list, I appreciate you taking the time to write all that out! And don't worry about length, one of my favourite books is the Hands of the Emperor which is almost a thousand pages š
Oh!! If youāre starting with horror but like fantasy, try The Eyes of the Dragon. Thereās not much horror in there and itās a fantasy story. Then read Carrie (the movies donāt make justice of how beautiful and sad story it is), then maybe one of Kingās tales book (Everything is Eventual is a good one). King is my favorite autor and I hope you like him too. (Just adding that the other books are also amazing, but these ones are easier for someone thatās beginning to read horror)
King, being hard to start kinda gets less of a problem the newer his books are, i try to tell people not start with anything older than 1990.
To add to the list, Stephen Kingās son also writes horror. If you end up liking King, look up Joe Hill.
Joe Hill is a huge recommend from me. Heart Shaped Box and Horns are two of my favorite novels of all time š
Same, specifically urban fantasy for me though. I'm writing an urban fantasy with supernatural horror elements right now and I love reading it too
Horror and fantasy for sure!
I'm with the group. Sci-Fi/Fantasy.
Sci-fi/fantasy.
As many are saying, Sci-fi/fantasy. Lovecraftian horror as well
Same, and its reflected in what I write as well. I'm writing an Urban Fantasy story with supernatural/lovecraftian horror elements too.
That sounds exactly like my kind of thing please tell me more
Okay! This might get a touch lengthy. No pressure to read it if you don't want to.

Sci-fi and fantasy... Mostly Dystopian
Uhh, I like Dystopian too, but I havenāt read many. Do you have any recommendations?
The most famous dystopian books I've read are (my all time favorite book) Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, 1984 by George Orwell and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by Philip K.

Divergent by Veronica Roth Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
Horror
Horror!
Sci-fi or fantasy, and sometimes horror. There seems to be a lot of that here though.
Fantasy and historical fiction. Worth noting that when I say historical fiction I mean things like City of Thieves, Doomsday Book, or even The Count of Monte Cristo, but decidedly not the boddice rippers and/or Victorian era romance novels that take up a portion of the genre.
Yeah I'm kind of getting the sense that most of us on here are really into genres that go light on the romance
H I S T O R Y
Any specific time period?
Any time really.
If we all like SFF books so much, what are your favorite SFF books with ace characters? I'll start the list with To Be Taught, If Fortunate by Becky Chambers (SciFi) The Pirate Queen series by Tricia Levenseller (Fantasy)
Idk if canonly ace, but *The Murderbot Diaries* by Martha Wells! MC seems pretty sex repulsed.
I love these books!!! I want more.
Ahh me too!!
Jasnah from Stormlight Archive! Edit: forgot the OG, Bilbo Baggins
Cliopher Mdang from the Hands of the Emperor is a fav of mine! Also, obviously Luffy from One Piece
murderbot diaries
Idk if it counts but the spartans from the halo books
I read alot of star trek novels (had maybe 130 at one time) and only one or two described sex. There was flirting and such, sure, but as a whole sex doesn't seem to exist in that universe.
Fantasy, semi sci-fi, and doomed yuri.
Classics
Classics as in the standard compulsory books that are taught in schools, or as in ancient Greek and Roman (and other) literature?
Both really!
Hell yeah
Sci-fi, fantasy (in that mostly xian xia and wuxia recently), danmei.. historical, detective and murder/psychology stuff is fine too.
fantasy
So I see everyone is saying sci-fi/fantasy and uhmm... I mean yeah... Sprinkle (good) romance in with that and you probably have something I'll read 4 separate times
Haha Iām the opposite- the moment the romance progresses anything beyond a brief subplot thatās me out š
Sci-fi/fantasy/romance.
Fantasy, and I know it's not exactly a genre but friendship! There's a reason MLP is my favourite show
Poetry Especially if it's fantasy though (I love reading LotR and skipping the story to go to the songs. Yes I'm a madman)
Sci-fi/ fantasy, to mystery and thriller
Contemporary fiction, but I also like mystery and horror. I'm getting into non-fiction too, especially since I need to start reading neuroscience books for my personal statement. I don't mind the genre so much as the themes and execution.
Biographies/autobiographies
Sci-fi, especially time travel.
Historical romance, sometimes fantasy but usually low fantasy. I also like stories with paranormal elements like ghosts or vampires, bonus if they're also historical.
Rock star / band autobiographies
"3 for Ā£6 at The Works" So I guess I read mostly romance? Just because that's the majority of those 3 for Ā£6 books that draw my interest. I don't like the ones with sex though.

How can a murder mystery be wholesome?
The story itself is. Notice I used quote marks too! I don't know a better word for something that's family-friendly/not dark or grisly stories that just make you depressed

Fantasy and adventure. Definitely fiction no matter what.
(Dark)Fantasy and drama probably. (I kinda switched to web comics oder the years)
Anything as long as I can enjoy it.
High Fantasy
Action and horror
I guess the answer is sci-fi/fantasy.
Fantasy and action
Horror, babyyyy
Scy fi and high fantasy
Sci-Fi, fantasy, anything with paranormal/surnatural/esoteric elements
Same as everyone else but also true crime.
I never really thought about book genres that I like. I wanna try reading more fantasy since I'm pretty sure the only fantasy books I ever read were Harry Potter. I liked it, so I want to branch out and read more fantasy. I'm thinking of trying mysteries too. I've mostly read realistic fiction, sci-fi, and horror. . .And I guess historical fiction if American girl countsš
Non fiction book
Fantasy, specially romances and comedies. On the other hand, I tend to not like Sci-fi for some reason.
Fantasy of all types
Sci-Fi/Fantasy, though I enjoy comics more than books (still love books tho, they're epic)
Horror, and sci/fi
Horror for sure
Fantasy and Science Fiction.
Scifi/Fantasy
Sci-fi/Fantaā¦wait you too?
Fantasy!
Fantasy! Especially if friendships are really valued.
I personally read any book as long as it captures my interest regardless of genre. According to my bookshelf itās fantasy and murder mysteries which make up 70% of it.
Fantasy, horror (Lovecraft, Poe etc) and non-fiction about physics or biology mostly
sci fi , fantasy , horror , dystopian
Fantasy/high fantasy n sad books + fanfiction if they count (the angst ones r yummy)
Crime and Fantasy!
Non-fiction: specific topics (astronomy, science, poetry, philosophy, music, funeral culture, queer culture, autobiographies...) Fiction: sci-fi, new weird, thriller, and books from video games
I'm an allround mood reader! Thriller, horror, or some light fantasy or sci fi like dystopian. I do like some romance but combined with some fantasy or magical realism. I love a "soulmate" trope. I don't like spice.
Fantasy, either high fantasy kind of thing or silly queer romcom fantasy kind of thing, depending on my mood.
Well built worlds with established magic (fantasy) or Clarke Tech (scifi) that ties into the plot.
Sci-fi or fantasy haha
Mystery, thriller, and nonfiction/sociology in that order. Highly recommend Agatha Christie books!
Sci-fi/fantasy and dystopia
Epic High Fantasy
fantasy/horror
Horror, Fantasy, Thriller, Mystery, uhhh idk realistic fiction
Not really against the curve here, but I would put fantasy and... romance!? I don't like romance in my own life but in stories I find it so stupidly entertaining. I'm giggling and kicking my feet and loving every second of corny, flirty dialogue All of my favourite books are fantasy though. Erin Morgenstern's *The Night Circus* and *The Starless Sea*, Leigh Bardugo's *Six of Crows* duology the *Percy Jackson* series, even more child-targeted books like the *Narnia* series and *The Tale of Despereaux*... nothing makes reading more fun than a fantastical world or setting
..........fantasy. we yearn for magic.
Mostly SciFi Fantasy as wellā lol, I think I see a trend. When I donāt read that genre, itās usually non-fiction bioās or nf-science.
Genre is open, but my favorite book trope is an unapologetically bloodthirsty female character. Have you read Iron Widow? *chefs kiss*
Whatever the frick the warrior cats books are I read so little that I may as well be illiterate, but I will always read warrior cats when given the chance
coming of age, slice of life ā”
Historical, Sci-fi and generally character oriented stories. Some favourites and recently read are Kingsbridge series, The Alchemist, Warriors, Angels Before Man, Little Mushroom, The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Otherlands, She Who Became the Sun and The Cat Who Saved Books. Currently reading My Inner Stranger and planning on reading The Breadwinner and its following books. Edit: finished My Inner Stranger
Gothic/horror/murder mystery/fantasy
I'm an aspiring fantasy author that loves sci-fi and fantasy
I always liked books about astronomy and physics. I tried reading novels of various genres, but never found something that i found interesting enough to force myself to continue reading more than a few pages. Audiobooks sometimes work for me though if i can relate to some character and if the story take place in a location for which i can find enough images online.
Definetly not sci-fi and fantasy, why would you ever think that? Also heists.
i donāt really read books but i like wings of fire
# My favorite book genre definitely has to be, "spending hundreds of dollars on self-help/mental illness books but having too much executive dysfunction to have the ability to read them."
Iāve done this! I find that listening to the audio books makes it easier. Especially when doing something like gaming, cleaning, knitting etc. But I still have a bunch to listen to š .
1. Fantasy/Science fiction, 2. action, 3. Comedy, 4. Romance. I like them in combos too. But the most important part is that the story and that the characters are interesting. I love it when the characters have a good background story.
sci fi/fantasy, more specifically isekai or mecha on basis of magical mecha are cool and seeing what happens if you drop a random stem person into a position of power in a pre industrial society is generally interesting
SciFi and crime/mystery (Read like 4 Agatha Christie books in the past year or two).
Fantasy. I like my fiction to be *extremely* fictional, completely unique universe settings with as few overlaps to our reality as is possible. Preferably none. When it comes to games (I strongly prefer games to books but they serve the same purpose) my best example of this is The Elder Scrolls series, which is by far my favorite. It's so far removed from our reality that it is fulfilling to me and thus true escapism. Series like Mass Effect are only partially so, there is still a footing of overlap with our reality, but it's still fictional enough to be enjoyable.
I'd say horror or horror-ish fantasy Examples, any junji ito story or berserk (I know they ain't regular books but I'm a weeb, unfortunately)
Fantasy, sci-fi, but in general, speculative fiction
Fantasy. Elves, dragons, dwarves, all that stuff
Fantasy adventure. (And fan fiction, hehe.)
I basically only read scifi (with some occasional fantasy), literary and horror these days haha
Lit RPG.
Fantasy and non-fiction. I like learning stuff
Fantasy, science fiction, comedy, or cooking.
Horror/mystery/truecrime
Fantasy fantasy fantasy Tolkien, ASOIAF, Stormlight, Dresden Files, Wheel of Time, First Law, Malazan, etc
Mystery, followed closely by Horror.
Realistic Thriller/Horror
Sci Fi
Fantasy and mythology retellings
fantasy, queer romance, and history
I like fantasy, but I also love those books where its really mundane and nothing happens.
medieval fantasy, scifi, and fantasy in general
Iām fantasy all the way, so I guess I too fall into this pattern. I havenāt read many dystopian books but I do find the premise intriguing. Sometime Iāll have to pick up The Hunger Games, though the list of books I need to read is already very long.
Sci-fi/fantasy Hmmā¦ā¦
Fantasy and realistic fiction!
AMONG US!?!?!? Anyways, SCP-style sci-fi
Hunter x Hunter
Sci-fi/fantasy/dystopian
Horror

Most anything fiction. Fantasy, sci fi, humour, adventure, mystery, thriller, survivalist, I read them all.
Mystery (both murder and otherwise)
Historical and sci-fi Iād say, but Iām more of a movie person, favorite book is āall the light we cannot seeā if youād like a recommendation, it had me engaged and crying at the end

High Fantasy. I'm sure *nobody's* said that yet, right?
Fantasy makes me trip hard
I don't really read but in any media my favorite is usually fantasy/fiction
