This Summerween and Christmas in July feel especially meaningful because they celebrate two very different stories that perfectly represent who I am as an author.

At the same time, I think horror is at its best when it explores experiences that aren't always represented. For decades, LGBTQ readers have found pieces of themselves hidden between the lines of horror stories. Sometimes intentionally. Sometimes accidentally. But we're finally living in a time where those characters don't have to exist only as metaphors.

Are you a fan of spine-chilling mysteries, nostalgic 80s vibes, and eerie twists reminiscent of Stranger Things and Goosebumps?
