Horror is among the most diverse genres in fiction. That, in part, is why representation is so important. Fiction writing isn’t strictly entertainment. Sure, to an extent, most stories are crafted for enjoyment, but they’re also exercises in social commentary, political activism, cultural exploration, artistic therapy, philosophy, and self-expression. The stories in Gloom House Publishing’s third annual LGBTQ+ charity anthology, We’ll Always Be Here, speak to that beautiful range in horror fiction. Of equal importance, these books celebrate the voices of the LGBTQ+ community and the allies who love, appreciate, and champion them. Thank you for supporting this project and keeping queer and trans fiction not only safe but valued.Cover design by Ruth Anna EvansEdited by James G. Carlson Rebecca RowlandJames G.
