It came from the closet : queer reflections on horror

2023
Books, Manuscripts
Through the lens of horror - from Halloween to Hereditary - queer and trans writers consider the films that deepened, amplified, and illuminated their own experiences. Horror movies hold a complicated space in the hearts of the queer community: historically misogynist, and often homo- and transphobic, the genre has also been inadvertently feminist and open to subversive readings. Common tropes - such as the circumspect and resilient 'final girl,' body possession, costumed villains, secret identities, and things that lurk in the closet-spark moments of eerie familiarity and affective connection.
