I haven't watched a ton of horror (not great for watching in the background with young kids), nor am I queer, but this still has a lot to offer to someone like me (read: average straight guy). It's an anthology, so essays that have appeared here and there by a wide variety of queer authors, all likening their experience with different horror movies. There's a lot to chew on here, and it's very gripping even for someone on the outside. For information, contains: -Introduction by Joe Vallese -A Demon-Girl's Guide to Life by S. Trimble (The Exorcist) -Both Ways by Carmen Maria Machado (Jennifer's Body) -My Hand on the Glass by Bruce Owens Grimm (Heredity) -The Girl, the Well, the Ring by Zefyr Lisowski (The Ring; Pet Cemetary) -Imprint by Joe Vellese (Grace) -Indescribable by Carrow Narby (The Blob; Society) -A Working Definition of Monstrous by Ryan Dzelzkalns (Godzilla) -The Wolf in the Room by Prince Shakur (Good Manners / a boas manières) -Three Men on a Boat by Jen Corrigan (Jaws) -The Wolf Man's Daughter by Tosha R.

As with any book that brings together different authors, some essays were better written than others, but none of them were bad.
I did find the essays based on movies and stories that I was familiar with were more effective and easier for me to read, which is rather obvious and just makes sense. And in the end I found myself skipping or barely skimming the ones that were based around horror movies or characters I didn't recognize at all.
For fans of horror, that have a greater depth of experience than I do would probably find a lot to take away from this book, but in the end I found it more frustrating than meaningful for me. ( )
