book recs?

i got :sparkles:money​:sparkles: and i’m in the mood for more books and my bookshelf is overflowing so… :pensive: plz help me fix that
i like reading horror/thriller type stuff, and i feel like I’ve read every YA book that fits that description (it doesn’t have to be but it’d be awesome if it was)
i’m not even kidding, i went to the library and asked a librarian for recs and 75% of what she recommended i had read :sob:
bonus points if it’s gay :)
