"André Santana brings a personable feel to this satirical sci-fi romp.... This audiobook is a fast-paced cocktail of social commentary, humor, and horror." —AudioFile on Straight
Bury Your Gays is a heart-pounding new novel from USA Today bestselling author Chuck Tingle about what it takes to succeed in a world that wants you dead.
"Brilliantly bloody, wildly fun, and extremely scary, Bury Your Gays brings a sledgehammer down on tired tropes and makes a masterpiece of their guts."—Rachel Harrison, national bestselling author of Black Sheep
Misha knows that chasing success in Hollywood can be hell.
But finally, after years of trying to make it, his big moment is here: an Oscar nomination. And the executives at the studio for his long-running streaming series know just the thing to kick his career to the next level: kill off the gay characters, "for the algorithm," in the upcoming season finale.
Misha refuses, but he soon realizes that he’s just put a target on his back. And what’s worse, monsters from his horror movie days are stalking him and his friends through the hills above Los Angeles.
Haunted by his past, Misha must risk his entire future—before the horrors from the silver screen find a way to bury him for good.
A Macmillan Audio production from Tor Books.

When a strange tear in the cosmos appears within Earth’s annual path, the consequences are disastrous. For one night a year, the vast majority of humans now undergo a frightening mental change, transforming into hateful, rage-fueled zombies who will stop at nothing to satiate their desire for brutality. While not much is understood about this horrific mass hysteria, the demographic it effects is very specific: cisgender straight people.

Cordelia knows her mother is . . . unusual. Their house doesn’t have any doors between rooms—there are no secrets in this house—and her mother doesn't allow Cordelia to have a single friend. Unless you count Falada, her mother's beautiful white horse. The only time Cordelia feels truly free is on her daily rides with him. But more than simple eccentricity sets her mother apart. Other mothers don’t force their daughters to be silent and motionless for hours, sometimes days, on end. Other mothers aren’t sorcerers.

From her cell in a mysterious convent, a woman writes the story of her life in whatever she can find—discarded ink, dirt, and even her own blood. A lower member of the Sacred Sisterhood, deemed an unworthy, she dreams of ascending to the ranks of the Enlightened at the center of the convent and of pleasing the foreboding Superior Sister. Outside, the world is plagued by catastrophe—cities are submerged underwater, electricity and the internet are nonexistent, and bands of survivors fight and forage in a cruel, barren landscape. Inside, the narrator is controlled, punished, but safe.

The last thing Nick Morrow expected to receive was an invitation from his father to return home. When he left rural Nebraska behind, he believed he was leaving everything there, including his abusive father, Carlyle, and the farm that loomed so large in memory, forever. But neither Nick nor his brother Joshua, disowned for marrying Emilia, a woman of Asian descent, can ignore such summons from their father, who hopes for a deathbed reconciliation. Predictably, Joshua and Carlyle quickly warm to each other while Nick and Emilia are left to their own devices.

It isn't until the strongest angel, Michael, comes into his life that Lucifer learns to love himself. Along the way, their friendship begins to bloom into something else. Maybe the first romance in the history of everything. But this God is a jealous one, and maybe paradise is not paradise.

In what was later known as the Low-Probability Event, eight million people were killed in a single day, each of them dying in improbable, bizarre ways: strangled by balloon ropes, torn apart by exploding manhole covers, attacked by a chimpanzee wielding a typewriter. A day of freak accidents that proved anything is possible, no matter the odds. Luck is real now, and it's not always good.

Story
Holden James picked the worst time to have a meltdown. His chance to audition for his favorite game show, Madcap Market, should have been a moment of triumph—a glorious, loving homage to his adored mom, who died six years ago. Instead, he’s destroying the minibar in a grim Los Angeles hotel room…recently dumped, partnerless and sliding into a crushing black hole of anguish. But the hotel service in abject misery is sublime. It even comes with an unfairly fit and sexy concierge who arrives at the door with pizza, Monopoly and deliciously distracting forearms.

Alison’s dentist is not happy with her. It’s not that she hasn’t been brushing, it’s the constant stress that’s completely overwhelmed Alison’s body and mind. She’s grinding her teeth, and it’s getting bad. The dentist’s advice: take a vacation. When Alison tries to break free from her daily grind, however, she’s greeted with some pushback from the sentient physical manifestation of her own stress, a living concept named Sophie.

Story
Cordelia knows her mother is . . . unusual. Their house doesn’t have any doors between rooms—there are no secrets in this house—and her mother doesn't allow Cordelia to have a single friend. Unless you count Falada, her mother's beautiful white horse. The only time Cordelia feels truly free is on her daily rides with him. But more than simple eccentricity sets her mother apart. Other mothers don’t force their daughters to be silent and motionless for hours, sometimes days, on end. Other mothers aren’t sorcerers.

Story
Prepare for a chilling journey from a ruined church in Philadelphia, where the spirit that lurks is far from benign to a Prohibition-era New Orleans jazz club, where a young man finds the love of his life - if he can live through the night; from a Detroit cemetery, where teenaged rituals have unforeseen consequences to a deserted beach in an unknown place, where two sisters let the ocean decide their fate...

A celebration of queer joy by a beloved author

That’s when I began looking into his titles and came across Bury Your Gays.
This is a wonderful story that doesn’t beat the reader about the head and shoulders with the sexuality aspect of the main character. It’s a well written, thought provoking story with wonderful characters who happen to be part of LGBTQIA+ community. It shows that we are simply humans trying to live our lives. The book also addresses some very real queer issues.
I want to thank my friends for introducing me to Chuck Tingle. I’ll be reading more of his stuff. Maybe we will even meet at a convention some day.
The hype is real.

I am not typically a horror reader, but this story was so much more than that, and had me completely hooked. (So grateful for this month’s book club pick taking me out of my reading comfort zone.)
With Misha being a scriptwriter, the literary perspective, explanation and understanding of the horror genre on top of the horrific story that unfolded made for a gripping, engaging read.
The sections of the book that were written and read as a piece of a script with full cast and graphic audio truly set this one apart for me. I was emotional one moment, disgusted and horrified, while mildly humored, the next.
The underlying theme of the true horror that is queer erasure in Hollywood was handled expertly, and points were made.
Chuck may make a horror reader out of me yet. (Okay, maybe not, but I’m definitely more open to, and appreciative of, the genre!)
INSANELY good audiobook

a blast & a half

It is hard to say much more without revealing too much so I will leave it at this: This is a timely horror story that does exactly what the genre should do in 2024, hold up a mirror to our reality and give us some much needed catharsis.
A book for queer creatives
