MONTEREY, Calif. - eTradeWire -- Following its successful eBook release and chart debut at #4 in Amazon's Queer Poetry category, Monsters in the Closet by Ryder Tombs is now available in paperback through Amazon and other major online book retailers.

Monsters in the Closet is a genre-defying poetry collection that reclaims the monstrous as a metaphor for queer identity, desire, and survival. With poems spanning five years of creation, the collection draws from gothic horror, supernatural myth, and emotional intimacy to challenge the ways LGBTQ+ people have been othered, feared, or silenced.

Each poem explores longing, shame, transformation, and self-acceptance through the lens of creatures both literal and metaphorical—vampires, ghosts, angels, werewolves, and beyond. Written with raw lyricism and defiant tenderness, this collection serves as both love letter and battle cry for those who have ever been made to feel monstrous.

Ryder Tombs is a bold and unapologetic voice in queer fiction, blending emotional depth, sensuality, and a literary edge across genres—from gothic horror to romantic drama, from poetic confessions to speculative thrillers. His debut collection, Monsters in the Closet: A Queer Horror Poetry Collection, debuted at #4 on Amazon's Queer Poetry charts and continues to haunt and heal readers with its fearless exploration of desire, dread, and identity. Whether writing about love at the office or ghosts in the bedroom, Ryder crafts stories for the outsiders, the unholy, and the beautifully defiant. When not writing, he collects vintage pulp, drinks espresso like it's ritual, and lingers in queer nightlife like a ghost in glitter.
