Bury Your Gays

I read this book because I was intrigued by the title.  “Bury Your Gays” is the slang term for killing off the LGBTQ+ character in fiction, even when they are hero because of the old, McCarthy-istic, moralistic bullshit that the film industry had to deal with.  That’s what the main character of this book receives pressure from the studio board of directors to do.  It then devolves into a mix of horror and science fiction that is dark, gory, frustrating, and a little fun.  I haven’t read much horror in a while, and though the science fiction isn’t exactly original, it makes for a thrilling ride through the underside of the Hollywood system.  This book was published just last year, so it hasn’t been nominated for any awards yet, though his previous book was nominated for a Bram Stoker Award.
