Tanzer's books often combine elements of multiple genres including horror, fantasy, science fiction, realism, and comedy.[5][6] She frequently sets her books in alternate historical settings, in which she incorporates people of color, LGBTQIA characters, and strong female protagonists.[4][7] Tanzer has stated that she strives for inclusivity in her works and that she is especially interested in the "queering of history."[4] Tanzer has been noted for the strong characterizations in her novels, complex relationships, as well as sharp and witty dialogue.[8][7][9][10] Women's relationships are a prominent part of Tanzer's novels, which frequently include more than one female protagonist.[10] Her novels often have "slow-burn" pacing with a longer build up that eventually gives way to action.[11]
