I liked “The Love That Whirls” by Joe Koch and “Therianthrope” by Briar Ripley Page. I also enjoyed “Heliogabalus Fabulous” by Belle Tolls but that wasn’t a horror story in the slightest. Ironically it might be the collection’s best example of “Queer Saints” (as promised by the title of the book) – I had expected more religious/spiritual imagery. Christianity does inform this anthology, though; in the introduction the editor talks about being “a queer person who grew up in the repressive Bible Belt” which maybe explains why some of these stories felt a bit lacklustre to me personally – I don’t think vaguely sapphic witches are particularly shocking or revolutionary, but maybe they would be in Arkansas or whatever. idk... This book came out in 2022 but you wouldn’t know it.
