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. The gothic gets thicker and the house gets haunted...er in this month's book, White is for Witching by Helen Oyeyemi. (Use promo code YIKES to save 10% at checkout.)

From Firestorm collective member and book club host Esme: "White is for Witching is a haunted house story, a loose retelling of the infamous lesbian vampire novel, 'Carmilla,' and a sharp exploration of the nationalism and white-supremacy that seep through generations of white women, hungry for the blood of the 'other.' I am especially excited to put this in conversation with last month's book, Model Home by Rivers Solomon."

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!
