An empowering cross-genre YA anthology that explores what it means to be a monster, exclusively highlighting trans and queer authors who offer new tales and perspectives on classic monster stories and tropes.Be not afraid! These monsters, creatures, and beasties are not what they appear. We Mostly Come Out at Night is a YA anthology that reclaims the monstrous for the LGBTQA+ community while exploring how there is freedom and power in embracing the things that make you stand out. Each story centers on both original and familiar monsters and creatures-including Mothman, Carabosse, a girl with thirteen shadows, a living house, werebeasts, gorgons, sirens, angels, and many others-and their stories of love, self-acceptance, resilience, and empowerment. This collection is a bold, transformative celebration of queerness and the creatures that (mostly) go bump in the night.Contributors include editor Rob Costello, Kalynn Bayron, David Bowles, Shae Carys, H.E. Edgmon, Michael Thomas Ford, Val Howlett, Brittany Johnson, Naomi Kanakia, Claire Kann, Jonathan Lenore Kastin, Sarah Maxfield, Sam J. Miller, Alexandra Villasante, and Merc Fenn Wolfmoor.Winner of the 2025 CNY Book Award for Children's BooksLambda Literary Award FinalistLocus Award FinalistYalsa Quick Picks for Reluctant Readers: FictionBram Stoker Award FinalistCybils Award FinalistNew York Public Library Best Book for TeensNotable Young Adult Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror Book by Reactor MagazineRecommended Reading List by Locus MagazineA Best of 2024 Young Adult Horror and Dark Fiction by Ginger Nuts of Horror
