It Came from the Closet: Queer Reflections on Horror by Joe Vallese
dark
emotional
reflective

2.5
Frankly, I don’t care about horror!! There were certainly essays that I really enjoyed, including Imprint and Centered and Seen. Many of the essays had bits and pieces that I enjoyed, but outside of the few that I loved I wasn’t very moved. I was not the target audience, seeing as I’ve seen literally one of the movies mentioned and don’t really care about horror movies, but I do appreciate reading queer experiences on something that I don’t know much about. I do not think I would have finished this if it weren’t for book club
