IT CAME FROM THE CLOSET Queer Reflections on Horror

Queer and trans writers share the indelible impact that horror films had on their lives as LGBTQ+ youth and adults. This vibrant anthology of new and previously published essays is performed by talented narrators. Incisive reflections connect teen slashers, demonic possession, creature features, body horror, and more to the authors' experiences with fractured relationships, unrequited love, disability and illness, fertility and parenting, and coming out. Graham Halstead's porous performance illuminates hope and grief in Vallese's "Imprint." André Santana's emotionally attuned narration complements the complex dynamic of twin siblings explored by author Addie Tsai in "Dead Ringers." This compelling production, with notable performances by Aida Reluzco, Em Grosland, and Ron Butler, will deepen listeners' engagement with the horror genre.
