4.0

Everyone has different tastes in stories and poetry, so not everything in this anthology will appeal to everyone. I personally found some stories and poems deeply moving and/or interesting, most mildly interesting, and one in particular extremely grating and poorly written. Overall a good read for a queer horror enthusiast.

THIS is the horror anthology I've NEEDED!!!

Questioning why queer people are portrayed as villains and then reclaiming that trope in a queer-friendly way was *chef's kiss*. 

 The diversity in this was fantastic. Hearing stories about different genders, sexualities, cultures, races, and ages made this a solid case for more inclusive storytelling. Queer Little Nightmares has been on my radar for a few months, so I'm very thankful for the opportunity to have listened to the audiobook via NetGalley. This is at the top of my list for my next book-buying trip. The narration was also *chef's kiss* At first I thought it might have been better with the typical creepy horror story voice, but nope, I was wrong. Their voice is great. Perfect. Loved it. 

Though I enjoyed every story and poem (seriously there's no filler in here) the standouts for me were The Vetala's Song, Godzilla Silhouette Against City, Glamour Us, And the Moon Spun Round Like A Top, Invert, and Ghosts of Prides Past.
