Zombabe

this is quite literally the best book ive read this entire year and i could write a dissertation on how much i love it

first of all, i s belle is my new auto-buy author. i didnt even UNDERSTAND the whole auto-buy author thing until i started reading i s belle because hot DAMN there is like crack in these

i love horror but the bury your gays trope is a little toooo prevalent in most horror stories. zombabe is literally if queer people existed in horror stories and actually had happy endings (shocking. i know.).

babe simmons and dude marsh mean so freaking much to me and i will not stop thinking about their love story and depth of their affection for one another for at LEAST 4-5 business weeks.

this really does have every major trope i love: slow-burn, “everyone feels this way about their best friend” trope, zombie-ism as a metaphor for not only homosexuality but also generational trauma, best-friends-to-lovers, found family, queer main cast AND queer side characters, horror!

i will not stop thinking about this book. read it. please.

best book of 2024 prediction.
