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

dark emotional funny informative reflective medium-paced

4.0

I considered giving this one 5 stars, but there were a few essays that didn’t fit right within this anthology and so points off for being imperfect. But this was transcendent! 

I love horror and it hasn’t been until recently that I realized horror is inherently gay just by being horror. I love seeing the cross-section of identities and films and sexualities. I was a bit surprised Godzilla’s essay didn’t bring up their ambiguous gender, and that Nightmare on Elm Street: Freddy’s Revenge was not mentioned once, but I have a bunch of new horror movies to add to my list now!
