Most of these stories were fine. Some were mid. Only a couple were bad. Guested, Nine Stops, and In you to Burn stood out to me and made me want to read more stuff by their authors. I appreciated a diverse collection of spooky stories.

A sharp collection of queer YA stories by BIPOC authors that all take place on a blue moon occurring on Halloween, this is a perfect collection of spooky tales for the season.
From teens at a party in a presumably haunted house, to summoning demons, or speaking to gods, there is a beautifully terrible spread of stories here. Each of the 13 short stories bursts off the page and brings vivid characters to life, even with just a few short pages to work with.
While I knew of a few of the authors, there isn't one story I loved most because they were all amazing. I cannot wait to add this one to my physical shelf later this year!

there was a few stories i really enjoyed but for the most part, they just weren’t spooky enough :/

It’s always a slippery slope with short story collections. Some of the stories are good, and others fall short. I loved that these were all queer-based stories, though.

this was totally cheesy but seeing well loved tropes used in queer stories is just so fun. i definitely felt the stories got better as the book progressed but this still opened my eyes to new authors. slay. also i love anthologies now?
