Make Horror Gay AF!
Happy Pride!!
Raise your hand if you want to make horror more gay!! Me!!
Let’s start with authors!
EV Harms is amazing! Author of Transmuted, which is a book about a trans-woman who will do anything to get her surgery. It will have you glued to the page!
Eric LaRocca just released Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke. Wow. It’s received a lot of praise, and it’s all worth it. I gave it 5 stars!
E.E. W. Christman has a story featured on the No Sleep podcast!
How about some merchandise to support indie horror sites?
Check out this shirt from Horror Oasis.
Looking for a new podcast to support?
Check out FriGay the 13th Horror Podcast! They explore the horror genre from a LGBTQIA+ perspective.
Or Jar of Rebuke, which is a thriller/mystery podcast that features many queer characters.
How about a dark horror romance? Try Dos: After You, which is queer character heavy and is produced bilingually!
Maybe you’re looking for some art.
Check out Elizabeth Leggett, who does beautiful yet subtle and dark horror artwork, full of surrealism with a perfect balance of light and dark.
If you’re looking for something with bold colors, try Jason Edward Davis. I want all of his work.
The Haunting of Mile Marker 14, Jason Edwards Davis.
Obviously, this is just a small taste of gay horror, and I encourage everyone to support the LGBTQIA+ community all year long. Also, please keep in mind that some members of the queer community can’t come out. If you’re a queer writer and want to submit to a queer submission, ask to the publisher to keep your anonymity and make sure it’s stipulated in the contract, with some sort of consequence if the publisher reveals it. For those who don’t feel safe to do that, please know you’re still a valued member of the community, and you’re still loved :)
Happy Pride!
