Buy, Borrow, Bypass: Rating the Queer Horror I’ve Read This Year

I’m all about queer horror reads in the lead-up to Halloween, and I have so many on my TBR. If you, too, are looking to pick up some creepy queer reads, I thought I’d take a look back at five of the queer horror books I’ve read so far this year and rate whether you should buy, borrow, or bypass them.

I’m skipping An Education in Malice by S.T. Gibson, a sapphic dark academia gothic, because I just recommended it last week as one of my favourite sapphic vampire books, so you know I love it. I will also say that I’m currently reading I Feed Her to the Beast and the Beast Is Me by Jamison Shea, a bisexual YA horror book about a ballet dancer who makes a deal with a river of blood. I haven’t finished it yet, but I’m loving it so far.

I plan to read a lot more in this genre in the next couple of weeks, but so far, here are my thoughts on the queer horror (and horror-adjacent) books I’ve read in 2024.
