      Consider this short story collection the birth of modern queer horror. Though not every character is out, and not every story has gay themes, there are more than enough in here to make LGBTQIA characters the norm, not the exception.

      From “In the Hills, the Cities,” about two gay men who vacation near the site of a ritual gone horribly wrong, to “Human Remains,” about a guy whose doppelganger is becoming more real than he is, to “The Midnight Meat Train” — which sadly isn’t what you think it is — Clive Ba
