Queer people and monsters have always had a natural solidarity, being deemed as "others" or threats to the status quo. There is some comfort in monstrosity, as it comes with a sort of power and identity that queer folk can resonate with. I've always loved the meeting of these two worlds, of queerness and horror and beings that somewhat defy conventional explanation, so this anthology was a great fit for me.

Some highlights of the collection include:

How To Summon Me by Val Howlett
Be Not Afraid by Michael Thomas Ford
The Freedom of Feather and Fur by David Bowles
The House of Needs and Wants by Kalynn Bayron
World-Weariness by Naomi Kanakia

Each story is so special in it's own way that any of them are worthwhile reads, but these are the ones that stood out the most to me. There were maybe one or two stories where the allegory seemed a little too on the nose, but they were still enjoyable.
