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 explores queerness from the magic to the truly macabre. On the one year anniversary of Helene we'll be diving in deep with all of those feelings and more in They Bloom at Night by Trang Thanh Tran. (Use promo code YIKES to save 10% at checkout.)

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.
Courtney Gould, author of The Dead and the Dark

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! This month, we will be welcoming Trang Thanh Tran for a virtual Q&A for the second half of the book club discussion!
