Cottagecore horror is a genre of horror that takes the picturesque idea of cottage living and shows the dark side. These three horror books will make you think twice about selling everything you own and moving out to the country to start your cottagecore life.
Agreed—I’ve read the synopses of those three books and they’re all folk horror, maybe supernatural. ‘Cottagecore’ may be a lifestyle movement, but applying it as a genre of literature sounds like a bit of useless preciousness to me.
I mean, I feel like Folk Horror already covers many of the attributes of “cottagecore” horror.

It might concievably be a crossover of folk horror and this new “cozy fantasy” trend.
