Need a last-minute Halloween costume that effortlessly conveys your status as a literary fiction girlie? If you prefer your books existential + your characters slightly unlikable, scroll for literary looks that’ll have you exchanging book recs + mysterious glances with other Halloween partygoers. Dressing up as these lit-fic icons isn’t just about the outfit— it’s about the characteristics that make them oh-so-unforgettable. So don’t forget to BYO yearning, delusion, and dissociation to the function. They don’t call it ‘weird-girl lit’ for nothing!

✨🕯️The books:

Bunny by Mona Awad

Intermezzo by Sally Rooney

Boy Parts by Eliza Clark

Lapvona by Ottessa Moshfegh
