The horror genre mirrors the American queer experience, both
positively and negatively, overtly and subtextually, from the
lumbering, flower-picking monster of Frankenstein (1931) to the
fearless intersectional protagonist of the Fear Street Trilogy
(2021). This is a historical look at the queer experiences of the
horror genre's characters, performers, authors and filmmakers.
Offering a fresh look at the horror genre's queer roots, this book
documents how diverse stories have provided an outlet for queer
people--including transgender and non-binary people--to find
catharsis and reclamation. Freaks, dolls, serial killers,
telekinetic teenagers and Final Girls all have something to
contribute to the historical examination of the American LGBTQ+
experience. Ranging from psychiatry to homophobic fear of HIV/AIDS
spread and, most recently, the alienation and self-determination of
queer America in the Trump era, this is a look into how terror may
repair a shattered queer heart.
