· An anthology of queer horror fiction and poetry that combines camp humour with legit scares. We’ve published queer horror anthologies in the past (Queer Fear I in 2000; Queer Fear II in 2002; Fist of the Spider Woman in 2009) but not for several years; Queer Little Nightmares reflects the current zeitgeist inspired as much by popular culture as by literary traditions. · Co-editor Daniel Zomparelli is the Los Angeles-based author of the successful and critically acclaimed story collection Everything Is Awful and You’re a Terrible Person (Arsenal, 2017). His podcast I’m Afraid That was named one of the best of the year in 2018 by Esquire magazine. His husband is Gabe Liedman, a writer and producer best known for PEN15, Q-Force and Inside Amy Schumer. · Co-editor David Ly is a poet (Mythical Man, Palimpsest Press (Canada only), 2020). · Notable contributors include Amber Dawn (Sodom Road Exit), Kai Cheng Thom (I Hope We Choose Love), Hiromi Goto Shadow Life (), David Demchuk (The Bone Mother), and Cicely Belle Blain (Burning Sugar). American contributors are Jessica Cho (Portland, ME), Saskia Nislow (Kansas City, MO), Steven Cordova (Brooklyn), Levi Cain (Brighton, MA), and Emrys Donaldson (Anniston, AL). · The book is a coming out party of sorts for horror icons. Queer creatures featured in these stories and poems include It’s Pennywise the clown, Godzilla, vampires, Theseus and the Minotaur from Greek mythology, the Creature from the Black Lagoon, and the Scandanavian church spirit known as the e Kyrkøgrim. · The book will publish 3 weeks in advance of this year’s Halloween.
