cayleejanet's review against another edition
because i haven't seen all these films, I'm going to read the essays as I watch them. and because I'm not watching them in order, i'm going to be reading these essays out of order and over a long period and it therefore makes no sense for me to have this as an ongoing read.

As someone who has only seen maybe 3 of the dozens of horror films referenced in this anthology (bc I’m a scaredy-cat), the queer potential of the horror genre isn’t something I had given much thought to. This collection was wonderfully written and gave me a lot to chew on! I enjoyed every single essay except “Good Guys, Dolls.”

I had so much fun with this! The audiobook was really well done too, with different narrators for the different essays which helped distinguish the different stories. I really appreciated these personal stories and experiences that reflected on horror movies through a queer lens. It was so fascinating to see how these different people related themselves or their experiences to different horror movies and characters (protagonists and antagonists)--both positively and negatively.

Some of the essays were wonderful. However too many were tangentially about horror, as if the writer was shoehorning the topic in because it was part of the assignment.
