Scream meets Clueless in this YA horror from Adam Sass in which two gay teen BFFs find their friendship tested when a serial killer starts targeting their school's Queer Club.

Dearie and Cole are inseparable, unlikeable, and (in bad luck for them) totally unbelievable.

From the day they met, Dearie and Cole have been two against the world. But whenever something bad happens at Stone Grove High School, they get blamed. Why? They're beautiful, flirtatious, dangerously clever queen bees, and they're always ready to call out their fellow students. But they've never faced a bigger threat than surviving senior year, when Mr. Sandman, a famous, never-caught serial killer emerges from a long retirement--and his hunting ground is their school Queer Club.

As evidence and bodies begin piling up and suspicion points at Dearie and Cole, they will need to do whatever it takes to unmask the real killer before they and the rest of Queer Club are taken down. But they're not getting away from the killer without a fight.

Along the way, they must confront dark truths hidden beneath the surface of their small desert community. When the world is stacked against them and every flop they know is a suspect, can Dearie and Cole stop Mr. Sandman's rampage? Or will their lonely nights soon be over . . .

"Filled with high jinks both terrorizing and hilarious, Your Lonely Nights Are Over is the ultimate modern take on Scream but somehow gayer. Adam Sass combines a cutting teen voice with a grimly funny slasher that's somehow still heart-felt and touching. This book will have you laughing and hiding under the covers!"--Aiden Thomas, New York Times bestselling author of Cemetery Boys and The Sunbearer Trials

"Twisted, 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

"Sass's hilarious, viciously charming cast will slash their way right into your heart. Your lonely nights might not be over, but at least you'll have a fantastic book as company while trying to survive." -Kiersten White, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Hide and Slayer

"Hilarifying! This twisty and subversive thriller will keep you guessing to the very last page. Your sleepless nights are just beginning..."--Caleb Roehrig, author of White Rabbit and Blood in the Water

"Suspenseful, heartfelt, and hilarious in equal measure, YOUR LONELY NIGHTS ARE OVER is a whip-smart queer YA thriller that manages to be both a note perfect window into contemporary teen culture and a loving homage to the golden age of slasher horror."--Tom Ryan, award-winning author of Keep This to Yourself and I Hope You're Listening

"Your Lonely Nights Are Over is a delightfully devious Slasher. A Queer Scream with a Mean Girls twist, Sass delivers an expertly crafted, unforgettable story, as bloody as it is heartfelt and timely, about the importance of protecting and honoring the intimacy of genuine friendships and the dangers of emotional abuse. Your Lonely Nights Are Over is undeniably my most anticipated young adult thriller of 2023."--Terry J. Benton-Walker, author of Blood Debts

"Like Surrender Your Sons, 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 best-selling 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
