A collection of 13 horror stories all written by queer authors of color and each told through the lens of a teenager of color about the Halloween night that changed their lives forever.

This collection is true YA, in that I would be comfortable putting it in the hands of an actual teenager, there is nothing overly graphic in there (no real gore, no spice) and the characters aren't just adults in teenage bodies they sound like actual teens and deal with things the way teenagers would.
I saw this book compared to Goosebumps and I think the comparison is fair in that it would make a splendid introduction to horror for a new generation of potential horror fans.
This anthology contains both sweetness and bleakness, and there's an overall good variety of stories. My favourite story was Hey There, Demons by Tara Sims because of the demon's sense of humor but every story has its own charm.
I received an eARC of this book though NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
This review is just to help me remember key points about the book. If you find it helpful or relatable that's cool too.Pride Month Edition
A short, spooky, sweet collection of LGBTQIA+ stories? Yes please! I loved how this collection focused on so many diverse perspectives from minority groups! We didn't get the same boring groups. Some of the stories were easy 5 star reads, others were just okay. Overall though, I would say this is pretty solid and just in time for spoopy season
