{"product_id":"queer-screams-abigail-waldron-9781476687421","title":"Queer Screams: A History of LGBTQ+ Survival Through the Lens of American Horror Cinema","description":"\u003cp\u003e The horror genre mirrors the American queer experience, both positively and negatively, overtly and subtextually, from the lumbering, flower-picking monster of \u003ci\u003eFrankenstein\u003c\/i\u003e (1931) to the fearless intersectional protagonist of the \u003ci\u003eFear Street Trilogy\u003c\/i\u003e (2021). This is a historical look at the queer experiences of the horror genre's characters, performers, authors and filmmakers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Offering 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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Abigail Waldron\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1476687420\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476687421\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/31\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 237\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.80h x 6.60w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/28\/2022 pg. 1","brand":"Abigail Waldron","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43945973940479,"sku":"9781476687421","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_02a77110-4985-460b-9446-e2de64305e01.jpg?v=1681510813","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/queer-screams-abigail-waldron-9781476687421","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
