This was a super fun and diverse collection of stories from authors from so many backgrounds, and I really enjoyed how it showed throughout all the stories. All the stories had a general overarching theme of “what if a queer monster exsisted in our world?” and it tied all the stories together beautifully. Some stories were straight up “I'm a monster!” and some were more vague about what was actually going on, but all of them had some queer representation in some way. I definitely enjoyed some stories more than others, but that is solely because of what I look for in stories - Horror, SciFi, Queer happiness, and discovering who you are. But none of the stories disappointed me. I'm very interested in going through other things the authors of my favorite stories have written to see if I can find some new favorites! I enjoyed the audiobook too, but there were times that I was confused at the start of new stories because it's all the same narrator and I was so engrossed in the stories that I didn't want them to end.
