I love this so much. Good, varied, intimate (and spooky) stories about being queer and trans as felt and lived through horror movies. I listened to this but would love to go back and read through the physical book.

 Loved this, really enjoyed the different perspectives on certain horror films. Like any collection, there were some chapters I really loved, that spoke to me personally, and others I could appreciate, but weren’t my thing, plus a few that were just okay. All in all though, a great collection and will definitely have me analyzing horror films in a new light moving forward. 

Plus, gave me a list of movies to watch this Halloween 🎃
