QUEERS DESTROY HORROR ( and other genres!)

[catherineldf]

 The mostly complete TOC for Queers Destroy Horror has been released and it includes my essay, "Creatures of the Night: A Brief History of Queer Horror." 😃😃😃
http://www.destroysf.com/queers-destroy-horror/
It will be out in October, 2015, as a special issue of Nightmare Magazine. That'll be the same month as my appearances at Sirens Con and as Editor GOH at Arcana 45, which makes it extra cool.

* There are only three reprints listed here because late in the process we had the opportunity to include an additional original story by an author we’re pretty excited about including. But since it was very late in the process we weren’t sure if it would work out deadline-wise. So if the author is able to finish the story, we’ll include a fifth original story; otherwise, we’ll add a fourth reprint.

** Note the pre-order cover displayed here is not A.J. Jones’s cover. It’s just a placeholder while the original artwork is being created and finalized.
