Last week, I shared 15 of the queer books on my Halloween month TBR, and that was just a sample of the books I’m hoping to read in October. For a minute there, I decided I would just read a book a day to get through them… as you might expect, that plan quickly fell apart. But I have read a few so far and have enjoyed them all: Lucky Day by Chuck Tingle, My Darling Dreadful Thing by Johanna van Veen, and Queer Little Nightmares edited by David Ly and Daniel Zomparelli.

Next weekend, on October 18th, is Dewey’s 24-Hour Readathon. I look forward to it all year, and for the October readathon, I always pick a TBR with lots of queer horror and Halloween-adjacent reads. Here are five of the novellas and graphic novels I’m hoping to read then.
