if yall think the trc fandom is dead and shitty ur in the wrong part LMFAO it is fully alive and thriving in the part im in
I checked and trc has been on the top books list since 2016 it's crazy we've been a shitty half dead fandom since 2018 but there are so few book fandoms on here that we're still making it in the top 20.

So Eddie would run his fingers through Blurs hair, kiss him on the neck hold his thigh while he drived and Andrew shared a bed with Eddie, slept on top of him, let Eddie brand him with a tattoo, drank his blood and Lee Mandelo wants me to believe it just never occurred to them to kiss on the lips.

It's September and we're in a heatwave so instead of choosing violence here's some oppressive summer gothics to match the abysmal autumn vibes
The criteria - they have to be hot and humid, they have to be gothic in nature, dark in content, and they have to at least flirt with the paranormal

Summer Sons by Lee Mandelo
This follows Andrew as he moves to a college across the country to step into his dead best friend Eddie's old life as he desperately tries to prove that he must've been murdered. Haunted, both figuratively and literally, angry and grieving, Andrew sets off on a path that leads him to question everything he ever thought he knew about himself and their history together as he fights to accept who he is, who Eddie was, and maybe tries to learn how to live without him. Fast-paced, dark, and super gay.
Water Shall Refuse Them by Lucie McKnight Hardy
After the death of her little sister, teenager Nif and her family move to rural Wales for the summer in an attempt to escape their grief. Set in the 1970s during a heatwave the isolation and oppressive weather quickly start to take their toll. With an emotionally absent mother, a father with a wandering eye and a needy younger brother, Nif becomes convinced she's stumbled across her own kind of magic, before catching the attention of the strange boy across the street. Think Shirley Jackson, definitely not YA.
Dark and Shallow Lies by Ginny Myers Sain
Now, this is YA. We follow 17 year old Grey as she returns back to her tiny hometown in the Louisiana Bayou for the summer 6 months after her best friends mysterious disappearance. In a town that claims to be the 'psychic capitol of the world', someone must know something, right? Full of secrets, lies, and a boy who steps out of the forest with storm-bright eyes, this was a quick and twisty atmospheric read.
The Hacienda by Isabel Canas
When political upheaval gets her father executed and his family is left in shame and destitution, Beatriz decides she'll do whatever it takes to find security in her life again. When a handsome Don proposes, Beatriz jumps at the chance to accept and move out to his countryside estate with big plans for the future, but it doesn't take long before she's spending her nights terrorised by a mysterious entity inside her new home, forcing her to seek help from the strangest of places. The imagery is creepy, the tone is tense, there's a hot priest, what more do you want?
Cold Moon Over Babylon by Michael McDowell
Probably the darkest book on this list, and definitely the oldest. When a young girl is brutally murdered within sight of her home, it starts a chain of events that will see a family destroyed, secrets and lies exposed, and a vengeful creature that looks almost human to rise from the river as the town that surrounds it starts to crumble. The people are unlikeable, the book is old, the content is Dark - you've been warned.
Ghost Wood Song by Erica Waters
Also YA but this time for the bisexuals. Shady Grove can call ghosts from the grave with her music, just like her daddy could, but everyone knows that only trouble comes from playing for the dead. When her brother is accused of murder, Shady decides to embrace her birthright and use any power she can to clear his name. It's sweet, it's sad, it's lyrical, and there's a little bi love triangle sprinkled in to sweeten the sorrows. It's also a debut!

my favorite gansey trait is his infinitely complex relationship with death. he regularly relives his death in panic attacks. he adventures out in rural virginia where a single wasp sting could end it all without fear. he knows he’s dying this year months in advance but never once considers using glendower’s wish for his life. he constantly chews mint—a hornet repellent. he only keeps one epi-pen in his car. he plans for his future death by giving up his home. he fights for his life when whelk holds him at gunpoint. he thinks—at least partially—that all his friends prefer other people. he’s terrified to his core when faced with robobee or the wasps in the cave. glendower was dead. and gansey kind of wanted to live.

just then, in that moment, the thought of gansey leaving for d.c. without him was unbearable. they had been a two-headed creature for so long, ronan-and-gansey. he couldn’t say it, though. there were a thousand reasons why he couldn’t say it.

they dreamt and dreamt, and the stars wheeled overhead and away and the moon hid in the trees and the sun moved around the car. as the noon boiled down, they climbed out and stripped their sweaty shirts and dreamed in the heat instead.

“no one knew him,” declan said. he was telling her something himself. “he was such a public figure, but they still don’t know for sure if he had any lovers.”
“he had at least one,” jordan said. “because i love him.”
