This collection gathers the anthologies that feature Mason Deaver alongside other YA authors. The core of the group is the All Out trilogy: All Out: The No-Longer-Secret Stories of Queer Teens throughout the Ages (2018) presents queer teen stories set in various historical periods, Out Now (2020) brings the focus to the present day, and Out There: Into the Queer New Yonder (2022) sends queer characters into science fiction and fantasy worlds. Each volume brings together a different roster of authors writing short stories with LGBTQ+ protagonists.
Deaver also contributed to Fools In Love: Fresh Twists on Romantic Tales (2021), a collection of reimagined love stories, and The Grimoire of Grave Fates (2023), a collaborative YA mystery set at a school for magic where multiple authors each write from the perspective of a different student investigating a professor’s death.
These anthologies sit alongside Deaver’s solo work and show a different side of their writing. The short story format lets Deaver explore ideas and time periods that fall outside the scope of their novels, while the multi-author format places their voice next to other prominent queer YA writers.
