fuck if i'm giving my id to this hellsite
Have you read Henry Henry by Allen Bratton? It's litfic about a guy who is messily dealing with the trauma of incestuous csa as an adult and is a Shakespeare retelling
I have not. I usually avoid books that have the non-consensual incest (which is ironic considering the majority of fics I read and write are about rape). Tho I got curious at the idea of a gay retelling of Henry IV
(Father x son, I suppose is the abuse? Henry IV on Henry V/Hal?)
feeling possessive of your big brother. he was yours first after all.
are there any brosis books with brother’s pov that you know? thank you for this wonderful archive and all your lists and recommendations
Thank yoi forr the compliment 😍😍 i have grown very found of my organization systems in the blog
As for brother's POV: Forbidden has shifting POVs, but I think that the sister gets more protagonism; Beautiful Kate, Pin, The Hotel New Hampshire, Ancient Tillage, The Blue Bedspread are all told completely from the brother's perspective ; Frankenstein is from the brother/cousin POV, but it's not focused on the incest nor does he agonises over the guilt of loving his sister; The Maias is told in third person, but has the brother as the main character, Family of Origin, The Dreamers and The Cement Garden are also in third person, but focus equally on the brother and sister.
Some other books from the brother's POV that doesn't have canon incest, but the brother certainly looks too much at the sister: The Book of Daniel, Me and You.
I bolded the titles which I like the most. And I'm probably forgetting some. This request made the think that the majority of the incest novels that have a romantic focus are centred on the sister (Flowers in Attic, Under the Pendulum Sun, Wasteland, Love's Forbidden Flower, A Spell of Winter, Relations - to name a few). It's their feelings that are explored on the pages, now they feel in regards of their brother.
Of the titles I selected as brother-focused, only Forbidden and Beautiful Kate I would consider a romantic book, but Forbidden is on shaky ground, because it's double-POV so it's not really brother-focused. Pin is a horror novel, The Hotel New Hampshire I would consider a comedy, The Blue Bedspread, The Maias, Ancient Tillage are societal critiques that use incest to get their point across (similarly as The God of Small Things).
Those romance driven books are also all authored by women. The only romantic incest titles that I can think off that were written by a man are Beautiful Kate and The Dreamers. This little exercise made me want to re-compile my list, making notes on the narrator and the author.
Another thing I'll note is that those books were selected from what I have read. It's possible there was a bias on my past, as I do tend to prefer books written by women, about women. There are many incest books to be read, so of course I prioritise the titles that appeal the most to me.
I don't usually recommend movies (cus I don't usually watch them) but two incest movies were mentioned to me today and I figured I might as well let you all know, perhaps some of you might be interested.
The first is Al otro lado del espejo, a Spanish movie from 1973 about a girl whose father kills himself on the eve of her wedding. It was recommended by @litteraeignotae, who noted it has similar vibes as Mary Shelley's Mathilda.
The second is Do Começo ao Fim, a Brazilian movie from 2009 about half-brothers who share a close bond. It was recommended by @selkieofthesouth. While I was reading the fic they wrote for the movie, I immediately noticed parallels to Agustín Gómez-Arcos' The Carnivorous Lamb.
I wasn't able to find anything that confirms that the filmmaker was inspired by Gómez-Arcos, but a lot of people do say that both works are alike. Turns out that another acquaintance of mine, @cor-ardens-archive, has already written about the movie and how it relates to the book.
have you read mathilda by mary shelley?
the context behind it of william godwin keeping it from being published is so interesting
I haven't yet. It's on my TBR list, I even almost bought it on a sale a while back, but it came in a double edition with Frankenstein (and I already have two Frankensteins, no need for a third).
I do mention the story in my post about The Romantic Idealisation of Incest. I do find the history of it very interesting, there's so many parallels between Mary and the fictional Mathilda that it makes me wonder if perhaps Mary did have a crush on her father.

The yellow time card designed by @windytalishar: Top Row: They grow up so fast | Deadline | Forever Middle Row: Making up for lost time | Back in the day | Monthiversary Bottom Row: Waiting | Never change | Too old
The blue horror card designed by @legsfreaky: Top Row: Kept prisoner | Flesh wound | "Help me!" Middle Row: It's all in your head | Haunted by their victims | Holy water Bottom Row: "Don't you trust me?" | Foaming at the mouth | Demon child

This event will run from April 20th to June 20th.
The goal is the same as any other bingo: to make a row, column, or diagonal by using each of the prompts, except this time you have to include them all in one work… or if you’re feeling particularly inspired: a full blackout card where you fill every prompt in one work.
Works do not need to be posted specifically on AO3, they can be posted anywhere, but our AO3 event page has all our info and FAQs.

"having sex with your friends is basically incest" is a take of all time
this deserves to go in the takes hall of fame
Reblog if you have incestuous desires about your friends
Hiii I'm wishing to find some brother x sister incest books if that's okay since I know you have read a lot of them. 😊
I've tried to find some for my own taste but have yet to have one in my list.
Because I'm very keen on the taboo topic so is there any book that contains the codependent siblings/abuse/grooming or just one-sided relationship from one of the siblings? Whether it's a happy or sad ending I'm willing to try it out!
And thank you have a good day!! 🖤
This has been sitting in my inbox for a month and I never got notifyed of it??? I only saw cus another ask came in and that notification popped up. I'm sorry for the delay
