I haven't watched a ton of horror (not great for watching in the background with young kids), nor am I queer, but this still has a lot to offer to someone like me (read: average straight guy).
It's an anthology, so essays that have appeared here and there by a wide variety of queer authors, all likening their experience with different horror movies. There's a lot to chew on here, and it's very gripping even for someone on the outside.

I'm really glad I got to read this. It wasn't what I expected, but is still valuable for social commentary.

A great collection of essays, this book shows how queer people see themselves in horror movies. I thought the cover was hilarious.
