Queer Fear: Gay Horror Fiction by Michael Rowe

3.75

overall i liked it. not every story hit. ghost stories and contemporary horror in general are a hard sell for me. but some of them were satisfyingly gruesome and perfectly strange and disgusting <3 and for the most part i tore through this collection. super awesome to see gay people as the stars, the screamers, the victims, the aggressors, and the survivors in these strange and unsettling stories through all the different ways 'gay horror' was portrayed. definitely feels dated in some aspects. but i love the idea of this. and there are some stellar, stand out stories compiled here. hard to pick a favorite, especially with how quickly i devoured this. but the nightguard, piercing men, bear shirt, the sound of weeping, the spark, and second shadow all had that special kick.
