Night of the Living Queers is a YA horror anthology that explores a
night when anything is possible, exclusively featuring queer
authors of color putting fresh spins on classic horror tropes and
tales. No matter its name or occasion, Halloween is more than a
Hallmark holiday, it's a symbol of transformation. NIGHT OF THE
LIVING QUEERS is a YA horror anthology that explores how Halloween
can be more than just candies and frights, but a night where
anything is possible. Each short story is told through the lens of
a different BIPOC teen and the Halloween night that changes their
lives forever. Creative, creepy, and queer, this collection brings
fresh terror, heart, and humor to young adult literature.
Contributors include editors Alex Brown and Shelly Page, Kalynn
Bayron, Ryan Douglass, Sara Farizan, Maya Gittelman, Kosoko
Jackson, Em Liu, Vanessa Montalban, Ayida Shonibar, Tara Sim, Trang
Thanh Tran, and Rebecca Kim Wells.
Vanessa Montalban’s YA debut is a dazzling Latine twist on
Practical Magic that follows a family of Cuban American brujas
entangled in love, magic, and murder. In contemporary Miami, twins
Delfi and Lela are haunted by a family curse that poisons any
chance at romantic love. It’s no wonder their mother forbids them
from getting involved with magic. When Lela and Delfi receive
premonitions of a mysterious killer targeting brujas, however, the
sisters must embrace their emerging powers to save innocent lives.
Teaming up with their best friend Ethan and brooding
detective-in-training Andres, Delfi and Lela set out to catch a
murderer on a dangerous hunt that will force them to confront the
dark secrets of their family’s past. Meanwhile, in 1980s Cuba,
Anita de Armas whispers to the spirits for mercy—not for herself,
but for the victims of her mother’s cult. She’s desperate to
rid herself of her power, which manifests as inky shadows and an
ability to speak to the dead. As political tensions rise and
Anita’s cult initiation draws near, she must make a decision that
could change not only her fate, but the fate of the nation. Lela,
Delfi, and Anita’s stories intertwine in a thrilling fantasy that
spans oceans and generations as each woman steps into her power,
refusing to be subdued by any person or curse.
