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 January we'll peel back the wallpaper of Rivers Solomon's haunted house novel Model Home.

From Firestorm collective member and book club host Esme: "I tore through this book the way the house tears into the Maxwell family: ferociously. If you've read a book by Rivers Solomon you know how their pose has a way of getting its teeth in you, and "Model Home" is no different. Let's dissect memory, inherited trauma, and the mother archetype in horror."

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!
