These monsters, creatures, and beasties are not what they appear. \u003ci\u003eWe Mostly Come Out at Night\u003c\/i\u003e is a YA anthology that reclaims the monstrous for the LGBTQA+ community while exploring how there is freedom and power in embracing the things that make you stand out. Each story centers on both original and familiar monsters and creatures--including Mothman, Carabosse, a girl with thirteen shadows, a living house, werebeasts, gorgons, sirens, angels, and many others--and their stories of love, self-acceptance, resilience, and empowerment. This collection is a bold, transformative celebration of queerness and the creatures that (mostly) go bump in the night. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Contributors include editor Rob Costello, Kalynn Bayron, David Bowles, Shae Carys, H.E.
