CN. Queerphobia, Queerphobic Violence, Graphic Violence and Gore.
THAT WAS SPECTACULAR
Finished Straights by Chuck Tingle and now I'm all out of Horror Tinglers, but my absolute love and appreciation for the good doctor knows no bounds.
I am absolutely going to write something about how Horror has had a historic lack of what Tingle has in spades; compassion and understanding for those associated with, but are not perpetuating the evil/violence/ supernatural. Something that has been a bugbear of mine/ intersectional feminism/ all weirdos (complimentary). The horror in Tingle's cracking oeuvre is cisheteronormative patriarchal capitalist society and the ignorant and cruel ideology it is founded upon
I genuinely couldn't be more proud and inspired by the care and respect Tingle laces his absolutely brutal nightmares with.
In BYG it's the not the absolute worst Hollywood execs, in CD it's non-bigoted/ hateful Christians, & in this, it's innocent straight people, even those driven to violence by forces beyond their means.
Essentially, he's criticising what he's criticising specifically & getting their arses, but he is not allowing people to catch strays.
Promised Horror Tingle Write Up when brain play ball.

I liked this a lot- having read Camp Damascus it's a close second place. Straight is a heavy handed but sincere allegory of homophobia if it were experienced as a zombie outbreak.

Moderate: Transphobia
