Join us for the Launch of This Spectacularly Spooky and Queer Collection of Tales!
Night of the Living Queers is a YA horror anthology that explores a night when anything is possible exclusively featuring queer authors of color putting fresh spins on classic horror tropes and tales. This event will feature MAYA GITTELMAN, KOSOKO JACKSON, KALYNN BAYRON, TRANG THANH TRAN, and REBECCA KIM WELLS, and will be moderated by editor / contributor SHELLY PAGE.
In Night of the Living Queers, no matter its name or occasion, Halloween is more than a Hallmark holiday, it’s a symbol of transformation. Night of the Living Queers is a YA horror anthology that explores how Halloween can be more than just candies and frights, but a night where anything is possible. Each short story will be told through the lens of a different BIPOC teen and the Halloween night that changes their lives forever. Creative, creepy, and queer, this collection will bring fresh terror, heart, and humor to young adult literature.
Contributors include editors Alex Brown and Shelly Page, Kalynn Bayron, Ryan Douglass, Sara Farizan, Maya Gittelman, Kosoko Jackson, Em Liu, Vanessa Montalban, Ayida Shonibar, Tara Sim, Trang Thanh Tran, and Rebecca Kim Wells.
*One book may be brought from home to be signed for every book purchased at the event.
