Queer Horror & Weird Fiction

Mostly, Scott Savino identifies as a menace, but he’s also a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community. Representation matters...even in works of fiction...because every story gains depth when it reflects diverse voices. Each tale below features queer characters, whether subtly woven into the narrative to be unraveled by observant readers, or stated outright. Enjoy exploring these stories, where identity finds a place even in the shadows...

I Put On My Real Face

It didn’t arrive with a label. No note. Just a box, waiting. Inside was the face I’d asked for…almost. Close enough to make my breath catch. Close enough to wear. And when I slipped it on, it blinked when I blinked. It smiled when I smiled. Everyone believed it was me…the real me…Even me.

A tall, slender figure with elongated limbs and a skeletal appearance stands in a doorway. The figure is partially illuminated by a blue light, contrasting with the red tones on the right side of the image. The background features dark shadows and hints of a room, enhancing the eerie atmosphere. The overall color palette creates a sense of tension and unease.

It Always Sleeps On The Floor

We were mid-moan, tangled in sweat and sheets, when I looked up—and it was there. Too tall. Too still. Watching with eyes it doesn’t have. I didn’t scream. I couldn’t. I just kept choking on fear while he kept moving, unaware we weren’t alone.

A silhouette of a couple embracing is set against a vibrant red moon in a dark forest. To the right, a large, detailed wolf's head is howling, with striking blue and gray fur textures. The background features tall, shadowy trees, enhancing the mystical atmosphere of the scene.

I'll Never Forget The First

He moved like no one I’d ever seen on the dance floor and that night, in the forest, we kissed and then did more…and I knew he meant it. He was different. It doesn’t matter how many men or women I find myself entangled with, lustfully beneath the light of the moon…I’ll never forget the first.

A solitary figure walks along a misty path surrounded by dense trees. The atmosphere is ethereal, with a blue-green haze enveloping the scene. On the right, vibrant red leaves contrast sharply with the cool tones of the background, adding a pop of color to the tranquil setting. The path appears slightly illuminated, guiding the figure deeper into the mysterious landscape.

The Fog Won't Lift

The fog never lifts on the trail. You run because you have to—because something terrible waits if you stop. Shapes shift in the mist. Memories twitch just out of reach. You always end up back at the beginning, but something’s different this time. Maybe it’s you.

Seeking Vorarephile (M4M)

We met online, like so many others, but what we found together was something rare. Something lasting. Something that changed me forever.

Where Would You Like Them Left?

“Where would you like them left?” I ask, keeping my voice steady. He doesn’t answer, doesn’t even turn to me. I shift my grip, the weight of them suddenly unbearable as the silence between us stretches, heavy. Suffocating.
