QUEER SCREAMS: A HISTORY OF LGBTQ+ SURVIVAL THROUGH THE LENS OF AMERICAN HORROR CINEMA BY ABIGAIL WALDRON
The horror genre mirrors the American queer experience, both positively and negatively, overtly and subtextually, from the lumbering, flower-picking monster ofĀ FrankensteinĀ (1931) to the fearless intersectional protagonist of theĀ Fear Street TrilogyĀ (2021). This is a historical look at the queer experiences of the horror genreās characters, performers, authors and filmmakers. Offering a fresh look at the horror genreās queer roots, this book documents how diverse stories have provided an outlet for queer peopleāincluding transgender and non-binary peopleāto find catharsis and reclamation. Freaks, dolls, serial killers, telekinetic teenagers and Final Girls all have something to contribute to the historical examination of the American LGBTQ+ experience. Ranging from psychiatry to homophobic fear of HIV/AIDS spread and, most recently, the alienation and self-determination of queer America in the Trump era, this is a look into how terror may repair a shattered queer heart.
