We Mostly Come Out at Night: 15 Queer Tales of Monsters, Angels & Other Creatures
by Rob CostelloAn empowering cross-genre YA anthology that explores what it means to be a monster, exclusively highlighting trans and queer authors who offer new tales and perspectives on classic monster stories and tropes. Be not afraid! These monsters, creatures, and beasties are not what they appear.

Each story centers on both original and familiar monsters and creatures—including Mothman, Carabosse, a girl with thirteen shadows, a living house, werebeasts, gorgons, sirens, angels, and many others—and their stories of love, self-acceptance, resilience, and empowerment. This collection is a bold, transformative celebration of queerness and the creatures that (mostly) go bump in the night. Contributors include editor Rob Costello, Kalynn Bayron, David Bowles, Shae Carys, Rob Costello, H.E. Edgmon, Michael Thomas Ford, Val Howlett, Brittany Johnson, Naomi Kanakia, Claire Kann, Jonathan Lenore Kastin, Sarah Maxfield, Sam J. Miller, Alexandra Villasante, and Merc Fenn Wolfmoor.

We Shall Be Monsters
by Tara SimFrankenstein meets Indian mythology in this twisty, darkly atmospheric fantasy where the real horrors are not the monsters you face, but the ones you create.&“One of the most unique and intelligent books I&’ve read. . . Alluring, completely enthralling, and masterfully rendered.&” —Axie Oh, New York Times bestselling author of The Girl Who Fell Beneath the SeaKajal knows she is not a good person. If she were, she wouldn&’t selfishly be risking her sister&’s soul in a dangerous bid to bring her back to life. She would let Lasya rest in peace—but Kajal cannot stand the horror of living without her.As Kajal prepares for the resurrection, the worst happens: Her sister&’s soul warps into a bhuta—a murderous, wraith-like spirit—and Kajal gets sentenced to death for her sister&’s rampage. There seems little hope of escape until two strangers offer to free her. The catch: She must resurrect the kingdom&’s fallen crown prince to aid a growing rebellion against a tyrannical usurper. Desperate, Kajal rushes to complete her end of the deal . . . only to discover that the boy she&’s resurrected, Tav, is not the crown prince.Now Kajal—prickly, proud, admirer of the scientific method—must team up with Tav—stubborn, reticent, and fonder of swords than of books—to find the real crown prince. With only a scalpel and her undead dog, Kutaa, at her side, Kajal must work fast before her mistake is exposed or Lasya&’s bhuta turns its murderous fury on the person truly responsible for her death: Kajal herself.
