Wondering if anyone can recommend some 90s contemporary supernatural/paranormal/gothic titles?
Wondering if anyone can recommend some 90s contemporary supernatural/paranormal/gothic titles? Anything along the lines of:
- Companions of the Night by Vivian Vande Velde
- Both Sides of Time by Caroline B. Cooney
Alternatively, anything similar to:
- Down a Dark Hall by Lois Duncan
The more dated the better.
More Than This by Patrick Ness, maybe? Also, This Is Not a Test by Courtney Summers is a contemp set in a zombie apocalypse scenario.
Of these, I've read and generally enjoyed Race the Sands (Sarah Beth Durst), The Bone Shard Daughter (Andrea Stewart), The Rage of Dragons (Evan Winter), and Raybearer (Jordan Ifueko). A couple others are in the TBR pile, and a couple were DNFs, but most I haven't heard of or gotten to yet...I'm curious for recommendations off this list. I've heard of very few besides Kuang.

Dread Nation and Deathless Divide are two of my favourite YAs of recent years - Black girls kicking zombie ass. The rivalry turned friendship between Jane (narrator of book 1 and part of book 2) and Katherine (who narrates the rest of book 2) is a particular highlight.I'm curious for recommendations off this list. I've heard of very few besides Kuang.

Sarah Raughly (a past AWer) has The Effigies series, which she specifically cites Sailormoon as inspiration for.I’m no help with the request above, but I’m hoping it’s cool to add my own.
Does anybody know of any magical girl/ -boy/ -person / -warrior type books? I’ve seen lots of anime, manga, etc. But I’m hoping to find something in written format that includes characters transforming and using magic.
I haven’t read a new book in years, just been stuck with what I had on hand. And I’m really hoping to start growing my personal library again.
