It Came from the Closet: Queer Reflections on Horror
5 stars
Each essay focuses on one movie (or in two cases, two movies). Sometimes the author’s life experiences illuminate the movie, sometimes it’s the other way around. I like best the essays that do both, but they are all moving, thought-provoking, occasionally funny, and well written.
