adventurous emotional hopeful mysterious reflective sad medium-paced

so good - as someone who often doesn't think about the layers of horror in favor of it as background noise, this was so interesting to read & added a lot to my watchlist/things to look out for! it did also make me anxious about the situationship thing on my mind rn but ah well. that's bein queer for you.

Definitely had its highs and lows but even some of the essays that I was less invested in were still interesting enough. I’m now very excited to revisit some of the classics referenced in the book and look at them in a different lens and also watch some of the films that are new to me.

Reflections on transformative horror movies from contemporary queer and trans writers? What could be better?! Personal favorites include Zeferino Lisowski’s “The Girl, The Well, The Ring” (The Ring, Pet Sematary); Sumiko Saulson’s “Centered and Seen” (Candyman); Sachiko Ragosta’s “On Beauty and Necrosis” (Eyes Without a Face); and, of course, Carmen Maria Machado’s “Both Ways” (Jennifer’s Body).
