![]() ![]() These 10 new queer horror books from 2022 are just more great examples of that. That’s not even to mention the wave of queer horror we’ve seen published in recent years. Just take Carmen Maria Machado’s recent edition of Carmilla from Lanternfish Press, full of marginalia that made the original queer subtext explicit. And it’s no wonder we can - and do - reclaim these stories as our own. With villains often queer-coded historically and LGBTQ people themselves demonized, it’s no wonder we can relate. There’s a reason queer people so often find a sense of connection in horror. It’s a genre I’m seeing more and more books published in and I couldn’t be happier, even when reading about killer monsters, haunted houses, and existential dread. ![]() And I’m always especially on the look out for the new queer horror coming out every year. It’s not the only time I read horror by any means, but it is when my TBR tends to become most horror-centric.

Her second set of stories are of people at the "mystic" level who can tolerate paradox and see truth and reality as multidimensional. But, while that step is a necessary one on the spiritual path, it is only intermediate. ![]() The stories of the nonbelievers-including an ex-Catholic, a former Mormon, and a clandestine Muslim apostate who left his community after the attacks of 9/11-show how complete confidence in human reason can lead away from literal religious interpretation. Some of these real-life accounts are by nonbelievers others are by those among the growing numbers of the "spiritual but not religious." All are thoughtful people with too much integrity to live what they consider a lie. ![]() Johnston uses first-person stories as well as known spiritual authorities in describing various stages of religious growth. Faith Beyond Belief gives a much-needed voice to the "good" people who have left their church but whose spirituality continues to mature. ![]() ![]() ![]() Bridwell continued to write about Clifford, compiling stories such as Clifford Takes a Trip (1966), Clifford’s Good Deeds (1975), Clifford and the Grouchy Neighbors (1985), Clifford the Firehouse Dog (1994), Clifford and the Halloween Parade (1999), and Clifford Goes to Dog School (2002).

Lawrence has been praised for his stories that explore human nature through frank discussions of sex, psychology, and religion. The work and life of D.
