book cover
Description:
The genre of horror has in the past been almost exclusively the province of
heterosexual writers and themes, stereotypically involving a male
antagonist and a female victim. Queer Fear is a striking and ambitious collection of gay horror fiction by some of today's hottest authors and talented newcomers, covering a wide range of creatures of the night and all manner of urban terrors. These dark and sometimes disturbing tales expand the boundaries of the horror genre, with the sexuality of their protagonists a point of reference for the 'horror' of otherness that defines and, at times,
divides us.

QVamp says:

An unusually good queer horror book. Some of the stories within were really impressive. The book won a Queer Horror award in 2000.

The stories within this collection explore how heaven and hell depend upon perception, gay bashers getting their just deserts, vampires and their fans, and the cruelty that can be found in the world.
