It Came from the Closet: Queer Reflections on Horror by Joe Vallese

challenging emotional inspiring reflective medium-paced

4.5

Really insightful and interesting queer meditations on the horror film industry. I found it particularly compelling how authors illustrated the cultural understandings of gender and sexuality which inform both the monsters/killers as well as the heroes and victims. And I thought it was great that some sought to reclaim and reinterpret the horrors of the story. 

While the quality of writing can differ, this anthology has wonderful diverse cast of authors that navigate different parts of being queer; there is bound to be an essay or two that readers will particularly connect with and like! :)
