No matter its name or occasion, Halloween is more than a Hallmark holiday, it’s a symbol of transformation. NIGHT OF THE LIVING QUEERS is a YA horror anthology that explores how Halloween can be more than just candies and frights, but a night where anything is possible. Each short story is told through the lens of a different BIPOC teen and the Halloween night that changes their lives forever. Creative, creepy, and queer, this collection brings fresh terror, heart, and humor to young adult literature.
This was so much fun to read. I loved the variety and the different cultures that were brought into the stories. I did favor some stories over others, but I think that is pretty natural when it comes to reading, however I really enjoyed this book overall and highly suggest it if you are looking for a Halloween read. The next book is The Salem Legacy.
Happy Summerween!
