About this episode

Amy and Chris discuss 'Bury Your Gays' by Chuck Tingle, exploring themes of queer horror and joy.

This month, your hosts, Amy and Chris, read Bury Your Gays by Chuck Tingle. Their Season 3 premiere is packed full of everything this time of year has to offer: queer horror, queer joy, and yes, of course, the dreaded queer exhaustion. You’ll have to listen to find out why! While this was both of their first times reading a Tingler, it definitely won’t be their last! Thank you to Kevin MacLeod for the use of our theme song, 'Werq.' You can find more of their music on https://www.incompetech.com/ . If you'd like to contact us with book recommendations or questions for our upcoming episodes, email thebiggaybookclub@gmail.com or message us on Patreon. We'd love to hear from you!
