Who doesn't want to read a queer horror zombie novel, during Pride no less. This was an excellent story of queer people just trying to exist and celebrate their lives when a suspicious zombie plague starts harshing the vibe. I went into this expecting camp and glittery machetes but this actually packed a powerful emotional punch.

A wild action-filled romp with messy queer drama and critique of rainbow capitalism. A good balance of lightness and seriousness for the sort of story that it is. I also think that the mixing in of other POV and the chapters from the past added to it. I really enjoyed it!

Moderate: Hate crime and Transphobia
Minor: Pregnancy
Face biting - unsure if it qualifies for the cannibalism tag. No one is explicitly pregnant, but there is a bit of a pregnancy scare that spans the book that is mentioned, but it's the day after/getting plan b. Also, someone uses a racial slur but they don't have it on the page, so I tagged racism rather than the slur.
