Skeletons in the Closet

Queer Horror Book Club

Queers and horror have always gone hand in manicured hand. We know what it means to be made into a monster, all while navigating the true life terrors of conversion therapy and gender reveal parties. This queer horror book club will explore queerness from the magic to the truly macabre. In October we're taking a trip into the Tingleverse: that's right we're reading Chuck Tingle's latest Bury Your Gays! (Use promo code YIKES to save 10% at checkout.)

From Firestorm collective member and book club host Esme: "Known for his unexpected romance titles such as 'My Billionaire Triceratops Craves Gay Ass' and 'Slammed In The Butthole By My Concept Of Linear Time,' Tingle has recently enjoyed mainstream success with his horror novels, including last year's Camp Damascus. With Bury Your Gays, Tingle proves once again to be the king of queer horror-comedy. His larger than life la la land personalities and truly terrifying creatures are a match made in hell. If you've ever been burned by the tragic death of a queer character you loved (Tara *sob*) this book is the vindication you need."

Each meeting of this book club is structured to encourage deep engagement with the themes of the text, as well as facilitate connection among the participants. If you are looking to meet other queer people and/or horror lovers this is the book club for you!
