Description
Bury Your Gays is a horror novel by Chuck Tingle that turns Hollywood’s worst instincts into literal monsters. Misha, a screenwriter finally on the cusp of an Oscar nomination after years of grinding, is handed an ugly ultimatum by the studio behind his long-running series: kill off the show’s gay characters in the season finale, “for the algorithm.” When he refuses, the choice paints a target on his back. Worse, the creatures he once dreamed up for his old horror films begin stalking him and the people he loves through the hills above Los Angeles. Haunted by his past and hunted in the present, Misha has to survive long enough to protect his future.

What Readers Are Saying
