I love that this exists! This book full of poignant commentary from a diverse group of queer writers has a lot to say. I really enjoyed the honesty, vulnerability, and kindness of this collection.

When @ofthevalley recommends a non fiction book, I know it's always going to be great, and this book does not disappoint!! This anthology is truly something special.
I love this anthology to the point of annotation and bookmarking pages to return to. My previous academic work has focused on queer memoir. The intersection featured between horror content, identity, and the Other is fascinating.
Recently, I have been watching classic horror films with my dearest friends. Being able to exist as a queer person in that space becomes even more dear to me after reading this anthology. :)

An intriguing and skillfully assembled collection of essays focusing on the connections between horror films and queer existence, including a myriad of viewpoints and perspectives. Readers will find pieces which pull in academic theories while others are written in a more literary framework, but all the essays in this anthology include deeply personal reflections on how these films shaped or influenced the author.
The majority of the works are stellar and well written, and two of my favorites were Carmen Maria Machado's insightful piece on Jennifer's Body, and Sumiko Saulson's awesome piece on the Candyman films, focusing on the black centering narrative of the remake and the reality of racist housing policies.
Highly recommended reading for anyone interested in the intersection between horror films and queerness.
