Straight, two-time Hugo Award nominee Chuck Tingle's first horror novella, is now in audio!
When a strange tear in the cosmos appears within Earth's annual path, the consequences are disastrous. For one night a year, the vast majority of humans now undergo a frightening mental change, transforming into hateful, rage-fueled zombies who will stop at nothing to satiate their desire for brutality.
While not much is understood about this horrific mass hysteria, the demographic it effects is very specific: cisgender straight people.
A few years after the first of these tragic events, four friends from across the queer spectrum look for safety in solitude, hunkering down in a remote desert cabin for what is now known as Saturation Day. With a vaccine available for straight people to curb their violent episodes, some predict the worst is over. Others aren't so sure.
As night falls, it becomes clear that survival isn't guaranteed this Saturation Day.
A Macmillan Audio production from Tor Nightfire.

With his enthusiasm for spoken-word poetry, improv, and nonbinary politics, up-and-coming voice talent Andr� Santana brings a personable feel to this satirical sci-fi romp. It's the third annual Saturation Day, the day when strange cosmic rays pelt the earth and for one unspeakable night many of the planet's "straight" or "overwhelmed" population turn into raging chain-saw-toting zombies. This year four LGBTQ+ friends decide to head for a remote cabin in the desert to wait out the brutal craziness. Sadly, it's not that easy. Santana is at his best when transitioning from the characters' banter to the chilling zombie mayhem. This audiobook is a fast-paced cocktail of social commentary, humor, and horror.
