This collection of YA queer horror by authors of color was something I was very much looking forward to and I definitely found myself enjoying it. If you enjoy your horror on the "milder" side, often tempered with a cute romance and featuring teen protagonists you will definitely enjoy this a bit more than I did though. I found it great to read a diverse anthology (of course especially the cultural and racial diversity was great!), however I want to point out that this is another queer anthology that features two glaring omissions: There are no trans women or asexual or aromantic characters featured in any of the short stories. In fact most stories feature lesbians/bisexual women, three gay/bisexual men, two feature a nonbinary character (Nine Stops & A Brief Intermission - both are explicitely stated as afab) and only one features a trans man (Leyla Mendoza and the Last Home on the Lane). And if I'm being completely honest I don't think that's a good look for an anthology that markets itself as diverse to have important parts of the community just missing. Trans girls of color and asexual and aromantic PoC need and deserve rep too.
My favorite short stories here were "The Visitor" by Kalynn Bayron, about a familial halloween celebration with a horrifying reason and a really spooky end, "Guested" by Rebecca Kim Wells, about a sister desperate to get her real sister back after she comes back wrong from a "Guested" party and "Nine Stops" by Trang Thanh Tran about a haunting viral video with a grisly end. I enjoyed most of the other stories as well and would rate nothing here under 3 stars, which is not something I see very often in anthologies. As I already said above I tend to enjoy my horror more on the darker side and that is also visible in the stories I enjoyed most, but I want to point out that there are also quite a few relatively sweet stories with varying levels of scares, some buzzfeed unsolved references, adorable romances, loving recognition of the self in the scary wizard in the end of the street, family drama and sometimes also dealing with the real-life horrors of being queer and a person of color. All in all, I would recommend this collection to a younger audience or those who want a cute queer introduction to horror.
