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. Get ready for an especially fun(gi) conversation about Root Rot by Saskia Nislow. (Use promo code YIKES to save 10% at checkout.)

From Firestorm collective member and book club host Esme: "Earthy and dreamlike, Root Rot traverses the mycelial webs within a family, poking discomfitingly at the sticky allures of belonging to a 'we.'"

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!
