A manifestation of ecstasy, heartache, horror and suffering rendered in feverish lyrical prose. Inside are sixteen new stories by some of the genre's most visionary queer writers. Young lovers find themselves deliriously lost in an expanding garden labyrinth. The porter of a sentient hotel is haunted within a liminal time loop. A soldier and his abusive commanding officer escape a war in the trenches but discover themselves in an even greater nightmare. Parasites chase each other across time-space in hungry desperation to never be apart. A graduate student with violent tendencies falls into step with a seemingly walking corpse.
Featuring stories from Cassandra Khaw, Joe Koch, Gretchen Felker-Martin, Robbie Banfitch, August Clarke, Son M., Jonathan Louis Duckworth, M.V. Pine, Ed Kurtz, LC Von Hessen, Matteo L. Cerilli, November Rush, Meredith Rose, Charlene Adhiambo, Violet, and Thomas Kearnes.

Praise for Bury Your Gays: An Anthology of Tragic Queer Horror
“Devastating, thought-provoking, and delightful. It’s a landmark in short horror fiction.”
“Bury Your Gays draws pain into a bath, perfumes the water with lavender and bergamot, invites you to strip. Sink in. Stay a while. Drown.”
“A gruesome and decidedly queer patchwork revealing some of the most devastating and unsettling horrors I’ve ever encountered. Each page of Bury Your Gays: An Anthology of Tragic Queer Horror pulses with a distinct sense of inevitability, a horrifying sureness guiding the reader on a pathway toward destruction, toward utter despair. These pernicious little tales will haunt you long after you’ve been entombed in the enchantment of their grotesquery.”
“Bury Your Gays sinks into a darkness that writhes with lust and dreams and death. An entrancing spiral into the countless nightmares of life as a queer person.”
