I enjoyed these essays (with a couple of notable exceptions) but came into the book expecting it to be more of a critical approach. Instead, this skews heavily toward memoir/creative nonfiction. These essays are well-executed and span a broad range of queer perspectives.
i liked this in concept but after a while some of the stories kinda felt repetitive as hell. like there’s really so much you can say along the lines of “the monster was demonized/had to be hidden…AND SO WAS/DID I” even if you’re saying it in different ways. i also wish we got more stories from trans women because i feel as though they’re particularly demonized when it comes to just general society but especially in horror.
however, all in all, this wasn’t bad. no essay was particularly horribly written or totally uninteresting and i would recommend it to any queer horror newbie! my favourite stories were: the girl, the well, the ring and twin/skin.
