A note for parents
This is a YA horror anthology with LGBTQ+ themes at its core, written by queer authors of color. While it contains horror elements typical of the genre—scares, dread, and some violence—the stories emphasize transformation and identity rather than graphic content. The collection celebrates queer characters and experiences, making it most appropriate for older teens comfortable with horror conventions and mature themes around identity and belonging.
