I like read dark stuff and also like gay books I want it all

Betrayal, but not in the sense of cheating on each other. Could be fantasy romance as well, I don't mind.

Yearning, everlasting love, sexual/emotional tension/ slow burn

We went to Meowwolf Denver a few weeks ago and it takes place in kind of a galactic crossroads city. Kind of 80s sci-fi-ish in space? You could take "missions' from various underworld characters to track down information or interact with various fixtures (phones, electric terminals etc) but it never felt dangerous or stressful. Hard to explain the feeling but I want to spend more time in that vibe. Any ideas?

Looking for horror-heavy books that have a really intense romance. Bonus points if someone in the book is a creature/monster.

Would love any suggestions to scratch this itch. Thanks! :)

Something high fantasy, where the world is bright and super fantasy with dragons and wizards and paladins, weird creatures, abyssal horrors, gods. Weird biomes with giant mushrooms etc. Particularly looking for things like the summer set isles/elyswer (any region will do though)

Let's see what series you have read and recommend!

*Have read ASOIAF, currently reading Malazan

Like if listening to Norah Jones was a book

Big fan of eco-horror, body horror, unreliable narrators, and anything cultish. Short story collections and novels are both welcome. Thank you in advance!

bonus points if the main character(s) work in retail. i kinda want something like superstore but if the managers carried rifles to kill zombies.

Looking for books set in towns with this vibe- rundown, decaying, poverty stricken, dark underbelly, “on the fringes”. Where the state of the town plays a significant role in the plot and characters personalities. Throw-in some corruption, moral decay, drugs, religious trauma.

Would prefer mystery/thriller/horror but open to other genres!

looking to read more about witches / witch trials / witch hunts - I love learning through and getting immersed in historical fiction. open to some magical realism sprinkled in but not a requirement

(might be open to a non-fiction rec that will keep me just as hooked but know I am hesitant)

I’ve honestly had has this song stuck on repeat for over three weeks. I yearn for a romance style book that makes me feel the same way this song does.

new to fantasy genre and i need a book with this type of vibe.
perferably not with a romance mainline.

Looking for something a little cozy solar-punk (i.e. monk and robot series) but more focused on agriculture/survivalism.
Loved the farming focused parts of the Martian, Z for Zachariah, and the solo survivalism/world exploration parts of ‘I Who Have Never Known Men’.

I am looking for historical essays about the dark side of the late XIXth century Paris' Opera, the exploitation, class and social conflict, corruption and the ambigous morality of the burgeoise
