Welcome to my ongoing and somewhat-regularly updated list of queer adult science-fiction and fantasy books published in 2022!

If you haven’t been around for my previous lists, this list and the ones before (see: 2021, 2020, 2019) – and the ones that will come after – are my answer to every, “Where are all the queer/LGBTQIA/QUILTBAG fantasy and science-fiction adult books?” or, worse, “only Young Adult (YA) has any queer representation.”

This is my fourth year creating and maintaining this list and even with publication delays, stuck ships, and paper shortages, I’m delighted to share an even bigger list than before. Queer sci-fi and fantasy is here, y’all, and we ain’t going nowhere.

The list is sorted by publication date. When possible, I included the specific queer rep, along with any side characters. “Queer” here is used as the inclusive umbrella term for anyone on the LGBTQIA+/QUILTBAG spectrum. The representation on this list is gleaned from reviews, readers, and the authors themselves and, even though I try my absolute best to get it right, sometimes I do get it wrong. Additions and changes can be found in a change-log at the end of this post.

Now that all of that admin stuff is out of the way:

Onto the list!

Welcome to my ongoing and somewhat-regularly updated list of queer adult science-fiction and fantasy books published in 2021!

If you haven’t been around for my previous lists, this list and the ones before (see: 2020, 2019) – and the ones that will come after – are my answer to every, “Where are all the queer/LGBTQIA/QUILTBAG fantasy and science-fiction adult books?” or, worse, “only the Young Adult (YA) has any queer representation.”

So I’m doing my bit to prove that yes, the books are here and they’re queer.

The list is sorted by publication date. When possible, I included the specific queer rep, along with any side characters. “Queer” here is used as the inclusive umbrella term for anyone on the LGBTQIA+/QUILTBAG spectrum. The reported representation on this list comes from reviews, readers, and the authors themselves. Additions can be found in a change-log at the end of this post.

Welcome to my ongoing and – hopefully – regularly updated list of queer adult science-fiction and fantasy books* published in 2020!

(*Since novellas are making a big comeback these days, and a lot of the novellas we’ve seen have been decidedly queer, I’m including them along with full-length novels.)

I’d intended to wait until the end of the year to give this list a permanent home – as I had with the 2019 list – but then the Pandemic happened and so many books got pushed out to late summer or even next year that I decided not to wait. Plus, it’s just easier to make updates in this format, versus the semi-permanent state of Twitter lists.

If you haven’t been around for my rants yet, this list and the ones before – and the ones that will come after – is my answer to every, “Where is all the queer/LGBTQIA/QUILTBAG fantasy and science-fiction in adult books?” or, worse, “Only YA has queer representation.” YA does in fact have a plethora of representation these days, but dismissing the diversity of rep that adult brings to the table is erasure and actively harmful. So I’m doing my bit to make it easier to find that rep, and harder to pretend it doesn’t exist.

The list is sorted by publication date, since about half of these books aren’t out yet. When possible, I included the specific queer rep, along with any side characters. “Queer” here is used as the inclusive umbrella term for anyone on the LGBTQIA/QUILTBAG spectrum. The reported representation on this list comes from reviews, readers, and the authors themselves. I’ll make note of additions in a change-log at the end of this post.
