Bury Your Gays
Misha has clawed his way to the top of Hollywood, and now his long-running hit show has earned him an Oscar nomination. Then the studio executives make their ask: kill off the show's beloved queer characters in the finale, 'for the algorithm.' When Misha refuses, he finds he's painted a target on his own back—and, worse, the monsters from the low-budget horror movies of his early career begin stalking him and the people he loves through the hills above Los Angeles.
Winner of the Locus Award for Best Horror Novel, Chuck Tingle's Bury Your Gays is a horror-thriller with a beating queer heart. It is at once a genuinely frightening monster story and a furious, funny, tender indictment of an industry that treats queer lives—and queer death—as content. A book about love, chosen family, and refusing to let anyone else write your ending.
A successful Hollywood screenwriter who refuses to kill off his show's queer characters and becomes a target.
