11 Horror Books by Transgender & Non-Binary Writers
Today is the Transgender Day of Visibility, when we recognize and platform writers who identify as transgender or non-binary. Here at HOWLS, we celebrate all people! Trans rights are human rights. The horror community is frighteningly bigger, better, and scarier because transgender and non-binary voices share their stories.
Here are some of the books by authors that we’ve read and discussed by people who identify as transgender and/or non-binary:
The Worm and His King by Hailey Piper / Summer Sons by Lee Mandelo / Tell Me I’m Worthless by Allison Rumfitt / Drawing Blood by William Joseph Martin (formerly Poppy Z. Brite) / Nothing but Blackened Teeth by Cassandra Khaw / Flowers for the Sea by Zin E. Rocklyn / Agents of Dreamland and The Drowning Girl by Caitlin R. Kiernan / The Bayou by Arden Powell / We Need to Do Something by Max Booth III / Camp Damascus by Chuck Tingle
Our Discord community had the pleasure of hosting many of these fantastic authors for live Q & A sessions, including Lee Mandelo, Arden Powell, Max Booth III, Zin E. Rockwell, and Cassandra Khaw, when Cass made the controversial statement that a hot dog indeed qualifies as a sandwich.
