📚 WHAT THE BOOK IS ABOUT

A collection of thirteen queer paranormal stories by Foxglove Lee.

Lee presents a set of independent short stories focused on queer protagonists encountering paranormal dangers. The anthology avoids a unified plot, instead offering standalone episodes that explore fear through different lenses and settings. Some tales involve forest folklore, while others depict technological hauntings or seasonal horrors like Ghost Family Christmas. By curating these varied scenarios, the author highlights diverse tonal shifts without relying on general clichés. Each narrative contributes to an overarching theme of queer-centric supernatural dread, allowing readers to select specific tropes such as Devil at the Door or Off With the Fairies. This structure ensures that every tale stands alone while collectively reinforcing the collection's unique perspective on horror.
