Queer Misc Books by Title |
Some queer monsters are so rarely seen that they don't quite warrant a page of their very own. But they're still fascinating to us so here are the books that explore the world of these creatures.
These are the items that have been found, a general description, and the general rating by the fans. (note: the ratings shows not only how good the story is, but also how well the horror or creatures are portrayed, and openly queer it is. A really good non-gay item might score very low).
