It Came from the Closet: Queer Reflections on Horror

by Joe Vallese

An essay collection where queer and trans writers examine horror cinema through the lens of their own experiences and identities. From Halloween to Hereditary, these reflections explore how the genre's complicated history with queerness can simultaneously alienate and illuminate, offering space for recognition and catharsis.
