Publisher's Summary
Perfect for fans of Kayla Cottingham, Andrew Joseph White, and Aiden Thomas.
“Modern horror at its best.”
—Bram Stoker Award Nominee Sarah Henning
“Haunting, heart-wrenching, and absolutely unforgettable.”
—Tracy Banghart, author of the Grace and Fury series
It's never been safe for Fern, Jaq, or Mallory to come out to their families. As kids their emerging identities drove them into friendship but also forced them into the woods to hide in an old, abandoned house when they needed safety. But one night when the girls sought refuge, Mallory never made it back home. Fern and Jaq did, but neither survivor remembered what happened or the secrets they were so desperate to keep.
Five years later, Fern and Jaq are seniors on the verge of graduation, seemingly happy in their straight, cisgender lives—until a spirit who looks like Mallory begins to appear, seeking revenge for her death, and the part Fern and Jaq played in it. As they’re haunted, something begins to shift inside them.
They remember who they are.
Who they want to love.
And the truth about the vicious secrets hiding in their woods.
This delightfully dark and pointed novel calls out the systems that erase gay and queer and trans identity, giving space to embrace queerness and to unleash the power of friendship and found family against the real monsters in the world.
What the critics say
“COME OUT, COME OUT is both fresh and classic, suffocatingly personal while being intensely relatable. Natalie C. Parker has crafted a tale that explores the horrors of heteronormative social structures pushed on queer teens as intricately as it delves into the terrors of a lost sense of self. Modern horror at its best.” —Bram Stoker Award Nominee Sarah Henning
"COME OUT, COME OUT perfectly captures the horror of being forced into an identity that doesn’t fit, and the strength it takes to break free and live on your own terms. Haunting, heart-wrenching, and absolutely unforgettable." —Tracy Banghart, author of the Grace and Fury series
“Dark and terrifying, twisted and yet beautifully hopeful, COME OUT, COME OUT shines a light on the evils of identity erasure for the queer community, and reminds us that sometimes, the monsters at home are every bit as dangerous as the ones who lurk in the woods." —Gretchen McNeil, author of Ten and #murdertrending
