There's a new comm that's about m/m shipping in old horror and ghost stories classics, it has fanfic, it has rec (and links to public versions), it's fantastic:

And while this is awesome and I have already started to read or re-read some of the recs, I was thinking, too bad it accepts f/f, and was also wondering, what are the classic horror stories where you can put f/f subtext? It's not easy, because it asks for two female character who talk to each other, and if they aren't entirely defined by their love for a man, it's better.

The line is the middle of the 20th century, so sadly, no Shirley Jackson. Do you have recs?

Carmilla is, of course, well known and the origin of the lesbian vampire trope (that I know? If there is earlier, tell me)

Dracula isn't centered on Mina/Lucy but their friendship is incredible and they have very good lines. I love you with all the moods and tenses of the verb indeed.

Christabel, a Coleridge horror poem that's fantastically femslash, I already wrote about it another day.

Do you have other recs for classic horror femslash? It doesn't need to be your fave, if it's here, I'm already curious.
