Did you know that Haunt is a queer-led press?

We publish horror that doesn’t use harmful tropes in the representation of queer people. We want to celebrate horror queerness in all it’s gory glory!

Why not use our current 30% discount (ends 11:59pm 15 June!) to treat yourself to some queer horror?
