Queer Horror: Fun and Freaky Perspectives on Macabre Media

Regular price $21.49 CAD
Hurry, Only 1 Left!

Don’t be scared straight! Curl up on the couch with Joe and Gina for a romp through their favourite horror movies, TV shows, and books from the 1930s to today, exploring their messages, meaning, and enduring appeal for queer audiences. From The Thing to vampire porn, The Exorcist to paranormal television, Goblin Market to Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, these thoughtful, conversational essays will make you think, laugh, shiver, and see your favourite media in a new light (even if you have to cover your eyes for the scary parts).  Horror buffs and queer media mavens alike will enjoy this wide ranging journey through a genre often derided, dismissed, and misunderstood, but which offers rich opportunities to explore our culture’s ideas about gender, sexuality, and desire. Whether you relate to the monster or the final girl, enjoy sleuthing hidden queer themes, or just want recommendations for obscure, low-budget ghost movies, this book’ll be a scream.

Gina Brandolino is a lecturer in the Department of English at the University of Michigan Ann Arbor.
