Dearie and Cole have always been two against the world, ready to call out their fellow students. But they've never faced a bigger threat than surviving senior year, when Mr. Sandman, a famous serial killer, emerges from a long retirement - and his hunting ground is their school Queer Club. Scream meets Clueless in this YA horror from Adam Sass.Lese-Probe zu „Your Lonely Nights Are Over “
Chapter OneDEARIE
I m probably the only person in school not obsessed with that Sandman show. I can t escape it. Popular kids, nerds, teachers, janitors -since the show dropped, everyone s become an amateur detective. Yesterday, AP Bio didn t start for fifteen minutes because Mr. Kirby was theorizing about the killer s incomplete shoe print. He and my best friend, Cole Cardoso, went on and on about how modern technology could recreate the print better than seventies computers (if only the evidence still existed).
It s a shame San Diego PD didn t keep better records before the FBI got involved. Mr. Kirby sighed.
Cole was trying to convince Kirby that Mr. Sandman knew someone in the force -a father or friend -who messed with the evidence. But Mr. Kirby just shook his head. Never ascribe to malice what can be explained by incompetence.
Cole rolled his eyes. Corrupt and incompetent, then.
Mr. Kirby clumsily tied his obsession back into the bio lesson for the day, but nobody was mad at the distraction. For the first time in his teaching career, he had his students riveted.
Anyway, because Mr. Sandman was never found, this show has my classmates thinking he s behind every corner. But the slayings happened in San Diego, California, and this is Stone Grove, Arizona: a rusty, dusty canyon town of twenty thousand. A lonely place to live, sure, but unlikely to see the return of a famous boomer slasher. I don t blame people for gossiping. They like thinking something exciting could happen here.
But Stone Grove isn t that special.

Which is why I m not bothered about these death threats that have been popping up. They re a prank, as simple as that. Today, Queer Club is meeting about the texting drama during free period, and I m here to make sure they stop believing the whispers that Cole and I are behind these anonymous texts. This happens a lot -people blaming us. Looking cute and inspiring jealousy are kind of our thing. But death threats? That warrants a public denial.
Maybe we should get publicists! High school reputation publicists should be a thing, but until that day comes, I have to make my own statements. So here I am in room 208, the Queer Club s regularly reserved space -where the band and choir rehearsed before they built the new auditorium. It s a theater--in--the--round classroom with desks scattered across three levels of crescent--shaped stadium platforms. Since the auditorium opened, it s become a flex space, either for clubs or a quiet study area -which is why I m a stranger here. I study in my own time.
Just kidding, I have extremely bad senioritis.
Actually, that s also a lie. I got early acceptance to my top--choice theater school in LA, so I don t have senioritis; it s more likeI m ready to leave this town so I can start living my life -itis.
I didn t see you at the meeting last week, says a pretty, upbeat white girl with long, silvery hair. Her name is Em. She s a trans sophomore whose cheerleading social circle has never quite bumped into mine -which is a circle of just me and Cole. Em and I wait alone in the cavernous classroom, which usually hosts a dozen Queer Club members but so far is shockingly empty.
Typical. I finally come back to this damn club and everybody ditches.
I used to come to these Queer meetings when I was a freshman, but I just wasn t a joiner, I admit, brushing on a coat of cherry ChapStick. Em nods in awkward silence at her desk atop

Aiden Thomas, New York Times bestselling author of Cemetery Boys and The Sunbearer TrialsTwisted, hysterical perfection Adam Sass has a voice so sharp it s between your ribs before you know it. I couldn t read fast enough to outrun this killer thriller. Ryan La Sala, bestselling author of The Honeys

Your Lonely Nights Are Over is a smart, propulsive thriller with laugh-out-loud humor and a killer cast. This novel deftly explores queer friendship, romance, trauma, and fury. An homage to slashers past and an exciting new entry in the horror canon, it is both a bloodcurdling scream and rallying cry of a book." Aaron H. Aceves, author of This Is Why They Hate Us
"Full of jump scares, gripping mystery, and true creeps, this is the queer slasher novel you've been waiting for! Sass had me hooked from the first chapter, but thankfully not with barbed wire!" Jason June, New York Times bestselling author of Out of the Blue and Jay's Gay Agenda
"This suspenseful slasher with a diverse, well-developed LGBTQ+ ensemble cast is also a catty, comedic celebration of queer community and identity. A campy and entertaining page-turner." Kirkus Reviews
"In this enthusiastic homage to queer youth and friendship, Sass embraces quintessential campy slasher tropes and persuasively blends snarky humor with suspenseful horror." Publishers Weekly
"Sass...crafts another twisty thriller that celebrates queer solidarity and the quiet pain of navigating queer loneliness...Carve out some time to make this a one-sitting read, because you'll quickly understand why everyone is obsessed with these 'beautiful, bitchy besties.'" Booklist
"[A] violently funny outing." USA Today
Sass weaves an intricate thriller that will keep readers guessing until the last few chapters highly recommended. SLJ
"The severity of the stakes at hand rarely stifles the rapport of the duo who are giving gay joy and resolve in the face of serial murder. The spotlight on queer loneliness, precarious and fatal, makes the relationships and humor even more potent." BCCB
