| Something unspeakable is coming out of the closet... From the ghosts of dead
lovers and malevolent queer faeries to devious doppelgangers and twisted
psychopaths, an eclectic lineup of award-winning writers from the horror and
GLBT literary communities come together in this groundbreaking collection of
queer horror stories. These tales will surprise with their universally resonant
themes while exploring the deeper aspects of the closet experience — coming
out, staying in, and being haunted by. Join Lee Thomas, Sarah Langan,
Jameson Currier, Rick R. Reed, Scott Nicholson, Kealan
Patrick Burke and others as they throw open their literary closet doors
with 23 chilling tales. Be prepared as these master dark scribes reveal what
lurks in those shadowy corners at the back of our closets.
And the horrors found there
promise to be unspeakable.
