Hollywood horror and the cost of success

Misha’s Oscar nomination arrives alongside a demand from the studio behind his long-running streaming series: kill off its gay characters to satisfy “the algorithm.” His refusal links a fight over representation in entertainment to a more immediate threat, as monsters from his horror-film past stalk him and his friends in the hills above Los Angeles. The setup brings workplace pressure and Hollywood’s storytelling choices into a horror plot, with the title’s reference to a familiar trope echoed in the studio’s demand. Misha’s conflict also places his career ambitions alongside questions of who gets to shape a story—and what may be at stake when he pushes back.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Horror readers interested in monsters and threats rooted in film imagery
  • Readers drawn to stories about LGBTQ+ representation in entertainment
  • Readers interested in Hollywood settings and creative-industry pressures

Book overview

The instant USA Today bestseller by Chuck Tingle about what it takes to succeed in a world that wants you dead.

Named one of the Best Horror Books of 2024 (Esquire, Parade, and Library Journal) - Winner of the Locus Award for Best Horror Novel - A Lambda Literary Award finalist!

Misha knows that chasing success in Hollywood can be hell.

But finally, after years of trying to make it, his big moment is here: an Oscar nomination. And the executives at the studio for his long-running streaming series know just the thing to kick his career to the next level: kill off the gay characters, "for the algorithm," in the upcoming season finale.

Misha refuses, but he soon realizes that he's just put a target on his back. And what's worse, monsters from his horror movie days are stalking him and his friends through the hills above Los Angeles.

Haunted by his past, Misha must risk his entire future--before the horrors from the silver screen find a way to bury him for good.

"Brilliantly bloody, wildly fun, and extremely scary, Bury Your Gays brings a sledgehammer down on tired tropes and makes a masterpiece of their guts."--Rachel Harrison, national bestselling author of Black Sheep
