I've been really enjoying Night of the Living Queers, a YA horror anthology featuring stories written by queer authors of color that all take place on a Blue Moon Halloween. The horror elements are wildly creative--from a ghostly encounter with a 1950s couple at a drive-in to Guested parties where participants try on possessions like costumes. I always love seeing the different ideas people come up with based on the same prompt, and this anthology is a great example of that.
Hurley- This helped me add a few more things to my growing list of things to read, which is getting embarrassingly long. Hope you're well this week. Cheers, -Thalia

Love that concept!
Not from this year, but I loved Charles Yu's Interior Chinatown.
I haven’t read Interior Chinatown yet, but it’s one of the best cover designs I’ve ever seen!
I looooved Worry! Just bought a hard copy to go along with my audio book. Two other recent faves are The Bee Sting and North Woods.
I can’t wait for next week!
Thank you for these recs! Excited to have you in Summer Writing Nights! 💛
