A review by marisacarpico
It Came from the Closet: Queer Reflections on Horror by Joe Vallese

emotional reflective fast-paced

4.0

A full collection of interesting work. Some stronger than others of course, but nothing here that didn’t convey an interesting perspective or relay something really personal in a way that still engaged with the films or genre as a whole. I did balk at the lack of intellectual rigor of the writer who analyzed the newer Blob while bragging they’d never seen the original, but if you wanna embarrass yourself in the permanent record, go ahead, I guess. Otherwise maybe the most thought-provoking essay in the collection. The one on The Birds also excellent.
