"Horror opened me up to new possibilities for survival … I saw power in freakery and transgression and wondered if it could be mine."
Explore the complicated relationship between horror films and the LGBTQ+ community through this compelling essay collection. Edited by Joe Vallese with contributions from acclaimed writers including Kirsty Logan and Carmen Maria Machado, It Came from the Closet examines how queer audiences find resonance in haunted houses, forbidden desires, and the monstrous—while reckoning with the genre's troubling history of homophobia and queer-coded villains.
From Jaws to Jennifer's Body, these essays weave together personal experiences of gender, sexuality, coming out, transition, and parenthood with fresh interpretations of horror cinema. Varied, accessible, and unapologetically fun, this collection takes the cultural impact of horror and its reciprocal relationship with the LGBTQ+ community seriously.
