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 December we'll wade into a world of diverse horror with the short story anthology Beyond the Bounds of Infinity. (Use promo code YIKES to save 10% at checkout.)
From Firestorm collective member and book club host Esme: "Meet deranged radio DJ's, serpent cults, and a woman who's OCD may actually hold the key to world destruction in this delightful sampler platter of terror. We've all got a lot going on this month so just read as much as you can (or can *bear*) to prepare for a discussion about the role of horror in horrifying times. I'm sure a few of these bite-sized stories will be just to your taste!"
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!
Content Warning: This event may include discussion of self-harm and suicide, violence and death or dying.
