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. What would you do if your employer was an enormous spider who habitually devours her wives? But Not Too Bold by Hache Pueyo poses this question and more. (Use promo code YIKES to save 10% at checkout.)

From Firestorm collective member and book club host Esme: "Contrary to its name, this intrepid debut has marked Hache Pueyo as an author to watch. Using lush imagery, lyrical prose, and a lot of creepy crawlies, Pueyo comments on the lengths to which we will go to avoid being truly seen for who we are."

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!
