This was an amazing collection - it is so refreshing to see so many creators who are after my own heart in this book.

Le microcosme de l'horreur comme une scène où re/jouer les codes sociaux. Le pouvoir d'une lecture queer permettant entres autres de les déjouer et de remettre en question les mécanismes de construction du monstrueux (sur la base de quelle "normalité", "neutralité").
Mes essais préférés ont porté sur : The Exorcist, Jennifer's Body, Herediteray, Grace, Jaws, The Birds, Candyman, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Get Out, Dans ma peau.

Calling all horror movie fans, this one is for you. In this collection of essays written by members of the queer community each essay focuses on how a specific horror movie relates to their lived experience.

Every essay was entertaining and informative. It led to me immediately adding Jennifer's Body & The Blair Witch Project to my watch lists. I appreciated how each story examined the queer contributions made within the chosen movie inspired or harmed the queer watcher.

This was insightful and entertaining. Highly recommend.
