{"product_id":"queer-screams","title":"Queer Screams: A History of LGBTQ+ Survival Through the Lens of American Horror Cinema","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe horror genre mirrors the American queer experience, both positively and negatively, overtly and subtextually, from the lumbering, flower-picking monster of \u003cem\u003eFrankenstein\u003c\/em\u003e (1931) to the fearless intersectional protagonist of the \u003cem\u003eFear Street Trilogy\u003c\/em\u003e (2021). This is a historical look at the queer experiences of the horror genre's characters, performers, authors and filmmakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOffering a fresh look at the horror genre's queer roots, this book documents how diverse stories have provided an outlet for queer people--including transgender and non-binary people--to find catharsis and reclamation. Freaks, dolls, serial killers, telekinetic teenagers and Final Girls all have something to contribute to the historical examination of the American LGBTQ+ experience. Ranging from psychiatry to homophobic fear of HIV\/AIDS spread and, most recently, the alienation and self-determination of queer America in the Trump era, this is a look into how terror may repair a shattered queer heart.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"None","offers":[{"title":"Kobo eBook","offer_id":46248742551762,"sku":"29ca9be8-4c3e-36df-95aa-5b5df3c63168","price":28.29,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/8980\/5233\/files\/image_effeccaa-11b0-40e9-8487-9b7361047880.jpg?v=1762857850","url":"https:\/\/www.indigo.ca\/products\/queer-screams","provider":"Indigo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
