Infos

This anthology of essays studies the form, aesthetics and representations of LGBTQ+ identities in a new subgenre of film and television we call ‘New Queer Horror’.

Autor

This book will appeal to undergraduate and postgraduate students of Gender Studies and LGBTQ studies, students of Film and TV studies - with an emphasis on considerations of genre tropes, representations of sexuality, gender and queerness in the moving image. Readers may also come from the aca-fan community – that is – community of LGBTQ+ fans of Horror that exists online, and in the media.
