I just
finished reading Dark Rainbow: Queer Erotic Horror, edited by Andrew Robertson. With
15 tales of horror, blood and sex, each author makes sure you stay up all
night, not sure if you should feel horny
or horrified, or maybe both things at the same time.
I was a bit
sceptic on the matter because I’m still a newbie in the genre of Queer Horror,
but this book surprised me with the variety of ideas, proposals and twists in
each of the stories. They were all original and I certainly will keep an eye in this anthology series (yup, this is
the first book, and there seem to be more to come!)
Honestly,
the first stories in Dark Rainbow didn´t
impress me, they seemed to be way too forced, as if either the LGBT or horror
side of the plots were there just to make them fit on this anthology. However, lines
started to blur, things became weirder, until I got immersed in a spiral of madness and sex. Me likes!
There is a
bit of everything for everyone, different ideas that will resonate more with
some readers, but the quality of the stories improved after the first ones. Hands
down for Eye Contact, The God of Small Favours and The God Module, best ones for me, and
that also have potential to become nice
movies. I would like to see eyes getting out of their sockets, a
supernatural monster hungry for sex and a gory orgy on the big screen. Well done, Andrew
Robertson. Well done.
Kinky regards, K!
