Bury Your Gays
by Chuck Tingle
Bury Your Gays is a queer horror tomorrow about a screenwriter who's horror villains start stalking him as if he's been supplanted into one of his own films. Really though, it's more about queer representation in media, consumerism and greed than it is about anything else.
You can see the thinly veiled influences behind some of he characters in his films and this is used in a way which attempts to correct certain tropes at points.
Though the main character, Misha, is well written, I can't say I really cared what happened to him in the end. The book had a very predictable storyline, so perhaps it's just that I'd already realised what was going to happen with him.
With this being said, the story being predictable didn't let it down. I wouldn't say it's scary either but it does get real gory in parts. Gory in a way where you can almost see it being lifted straight from a classic horror film. This is where a lot of that predictablity comes from and really, who doesn't read a book like without wanting a bit of those classic horror vibes?
Ultimately, it's a book that I would have got a real kick out of as a horror movie teenager so it's ⭐⭐⭐⭐ from me.
