This is a very readable academic book on the history of monsters in cinema as a metaphor for queer people. Solid work, covers 1920s to late 1980s

It's a crying shame that this was published too early to cover Scream, but the good news is that the book teaches you how to read these movies so well that I don't even need to know Benshoff's thoughts on it
