Exquisite Aberrations Bret Valdez

A familiar chill runs down your spine. You've been here before: the abandoned house on the hill, the dark hallway with the creaking floorboards, the ancient cemetery veiled in mist, the rutted pathway to a lonely place. You know these stories, or do you? These are the tales not told; the words pushed to the margins. These figures have been shrouded, forgotten, locked behind a creaking door, but now their stories will be told.

The authors of this anthology include writers from many different backgrounds spanning multiple continents. Within the pages of this book, you will experience traditionally gothic tales from truly unique points of view: trans, non-binary, and LGBTQ+ characters, people suffering from PTSD and other mental health conditions, and persons of color. $1 from each book sold will be donated to the ACLU.
