I saw someone on Tiktok describe this as demon twink literature which made me cackle. This book is a beautiful and devastating meditation on love, grief, and loyalty with a cast of queer characters who reminded me of people in my own life as a former performance artist and poet with ties to Brooklyn, upstate New York, Berlin, and Mexico City.

Ever had a string of bad luck so improbable you start to wonder what otherworldly  forces are plotting against you? Lucky Day follow the most compelling duo since Scully and Mulder as they pull at the threads of a grand conspiracy. It's a cosmically good romp that only enhances Tingle's explorations of more sobering concerns such as bisexual erasure and what we lose when 'the ends justify the means.' Also, as someone who reads a lot of great horror, the kills we get in this book are straight up B A N A N A S!

A trans pregnancy horror for a post-Roe world, You Weren't Meant to Be Human pushes the boundary of what is publishable. I'm not going to sugar coat it, this book is disturbing and gross. Even an iron-stomached horror fanatic will feel a lurch when White goes *there.* But even as White serves up platter after platter of ghastly cosmic horror, he reminds us that the truly terrifying will always be mundanely, achingly human.

Horror anthologies are the best way to discover your new favorite author. No need to bother with tedious plot setup. These stories get straight to the jagged, bloodied point. It's like injecting adrenaline straight into your veins.

A briny, rotting ode to the things we must become to survive and the things we yearn to become when the surviving is over. In elegant, atmospheric prose, Trang Thanh Tran peels back layers of salty skin and sea foam to expose the truth: even when we are wrong, even when we are monstrous, we are whole.

A brutal, brilliant story of motherhood, memory, and religion, deviously simple and terribly clever. King-Miller has become one of my must-read authors.

Tingle has recently enjoyed mainstream success with his horror novels, including last year's Camp Damascus. With Bury Your Gays, Tingle proves once again to be the king of queer horror-comedy. His larger than life la la land personalities and truly terrifying creatures are a match made in hell. If you've ever been burned by the tragic death of a queer character you loved (Tara *sob*) this book is the vindication you need.

I tore through this book the way this Texas suburb tears into the Maxwell family: ferociously. If you've read a book by Rivers Solomon you know how their prose has a way of getting its teeth in you, and Model Home is no different.

Patricia Wants To Cuddle juxtaposes campy cryptid horror against the backdrop of a dating competition show. It is a combination so unexpected yet SO delicious you'll never watch The Bachelor the same way again!
