Recenzii

"Queer for Fear is the first major empirical study of queer horror spectators, their diversity and lived experiences. It offers a new understanding of camp, queer community, queer trauma, queer live cinema, the importance of drag and camp laughter. Queer for Fear is an original, intelligent and thought-provoking study of the complex relationship between queerness, horror and the cinema. A must-have book for queer lovers of horror—and everyone else!"

"Queer for Fear is a rigorous, field-changing deep dive into queer horror spectators and their relationship with the 'queerest genre'. Beginning with the bold claim that 'horror is queer', Petrocelli crafts a convincing and thoroughly researched argument that leaves no stone unturned. This large-scale empirical study breaks open the field of horror studies as Petrocelli expansively connects the experiences of queer spectators to horror through queer identity, camp, live performance, and more."
