Description
Horror movies have long been a complex and often contradictory space for queer and trans writers. On one hand, the genre has historically been misogynistic and homophobic, yet it also offers moments of feminist subversion and queer empowerment. Through essays by twenty-five contributors, including Carmen Maria Machado, Jude Ellison S. Doyle, and Addie Tsai, It Came from the Closet explores the rich reciprocity between queerness and horror. These conversations convey the ways in which queer experiences are reflected, refracted, and reinterpreted through the lens of horror. The book delves into common tropes such as body possession, costumed villains, and secret identities, revealing moments of eerie familiarity and affective connection for queer viewers.
