Order of Chris McQueer Books

Scottish writer Chris McQueer has carved out a unique niche in contemporary literature through his distinctive use of Scots language and a compelling blend of dark comedy and surreal humor that resonates powerfully with Scottish readers. Before establishing himself as a published author, McQueer worked as a "sandwich artist" at Subway.

McQueer's literary journey began in an unconventional way—by self-publishing short stories on Twitter. As his social media following grew, so did the opportunity to transition from digital storytelling to print. This led to his debut collection, Hings, which gathered together the stories he had originally shared on the platform. The book's success was validated when it earned the Best Short Story Collection prize at the 2018 Saboteur Awards, launching McQueer's writing career into high gear. Beyond his written work, McQueer is also recognized as a spoken word performer, bringing his stories to life through live performance.
