8 STORIES. 8 QUEERS. 8 FEARS.
The Other Side of the Closet explores the real life nightmares of the LGBTQIA+ community through a bloody and morally twisted lens.
A random hookup gone wrong. A gay bar haunted by a dead drag queen. A demented family reunion. A couple who can't let go.
In his first collection, Patrick Kane transports you to a dimension where your darkest insecurities are magnified beyond your control. Where the horrors in your mind have taken shape in front of your very eyes. That dimension is here. That dimension is now.
No queer is safe from the terror that resides on:
THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CLOSET
What People Are Saying
“Horror fans will appreciate Kane’s frightful descriptions and unique story arcs, no matter where on the gender and sexuality spectrum they might fall. Delightfully graphic squeamishness will ensue.”
★★★★★

“If you’re queer, if you’re a horror junkie, if you’re a literate human being - read this book! Creativity and depravity abound in this delectably wicked masterpiece.”
★★★★★
— Hayley Miller
“… a diverse sampling of queer horror with plenty of rich, horrific imagery described within. As a big fan of Clive Barker’s Books of Blood, I couldn’t help but draw a few comparisons.

“I ended up enjoying these stories so much, I read the whole book in one sitting (within three hours of getting the book) and will probably reread some of them many times over. Great gruesome fun.”
★★★★★
— Tricia Schiro
“The stories in this collection are like broken, twisted fingers that reach out and, with surprising strength, wrap around your heart and your brain and squeeze... squeeze... squeeze... long after you have stopped reading them. Fans of early Stephen King short stories will feel right at home in this horrific collection.”
