When I heard that this YA Horror Anthology centers queer and BIPOC characters (and by queer authors of color), I was ecstatic! And now I can say, it didn't let me down.
This whole anthology was filled with creepy and creative short stories that are full of heart, boldness, humor, and terror. I love the every story offered a unique twist, that every story had a new perspective on what things are scary and terrifying. I also love that I got to see various cultures and identities in every story, and this just added a lot more love and soul.
Some of my favorites are Guested (Rebecca Kim Wells), Rocky Road with Caramel Drizzle (Kosoko Jackson), Leyla Mendoza and the Last House on the Lane (Maya Gittelman), and Hey There, Demons (Tara Sim).
Of course, thank you so much Wednesday Books for the e-arc! (This did not affect my overall opinion of the book)
Full review on my blog soon!
