Bury Your Gays
Chuck Tingle
2024 · 295 pages · Horror
How it reads
Bury Your Gays is horror (lgbtq+ horror satire, specifically), and its dominant mood is eerie. It's atmospheric and uncanny, with a sense that something is wrong. It moves fast: plot-driven and hard to put down, the kind of book that carries you along even when you're tired.
It's set in a big city setting, in the present day, told in the third person, staying close to one character. Its central concerns are identity, justice and art and creativity. In weight it sits in the middle: substantial without being heavy going.
It stands alone, so there's nothing else you need to read first or after. The ending resolves happily. At 295 pages it's a quick read. It's moderately known: read by plenty of people, but not a household name.

- you're in the mood for something eerie
- you want a book that pulls you through
