Monsters in the Closet: A Queer Horror Poetry Collection, debuted at #4 on Amazon's Queer Poetry charts
MONTEREY, Calif. - Californer -- Following its successful eBook release and chart debut at #4 in Amazon's Queer Poetry category, Monsters in the Closet by Ryder Tombs is now available in paperback through Amazon and other major online book retailers.
Monsters in the Closet is a genre-defying poetry collection that reclaims the monstrous as a metaphor for queer identity, desire, and survival. With poems spanning five years of creation, the collection draws from gothic horror, supernatural myth, and emotional intimacy to challenge the ways LGBTQ+ people have been othered, feared, or silenced.
Each poem explores longing, shame, transformation, and self-acceptance through the lens of creatures both literal and metaphorical—vampires, ghosts, angels, werewolves, and beyond. Written with raw lyricism and defiant tenderness, this collection serves as both love letter and battle cry for those who have ever been made to feel monstrous.
