Censorship, problematic tropes, and extreme violence—it’s no wonder the queer community feels so underrepresented in horror cinema. Pansexual author Cat Voleur guides readers through twenty film recommendations selected from over eighty years of scary movies. Her personal experiences with the LGBTQIA+ community are intertwined into these essays about the history of the genre and persistence of the counterculture. Get ready to let the messiest and most fabulous skeletons out of the closet. Honor some classics, get out of your comfort zone, and embrace some problematic favorites because no one should have to hide their Queer Tastes.
Cat Voleur is a full-time horror author with such titles as Revenge Arc, The Lorekeeper, and My Apologies to Tanya Grace. She is a member of the International Association of Media Tie-in Writers and a co-host of The Nic F’n Woo Cage Cast. When she’s not creating or consuming morbid content, you can find her relaxing with her small army of rescued felines.
More Praise for Queer Tastes: Unconventional Representation in Horror Films
“No one finds beauty in the grotesque or cool in the weird like Cat Voleur!”
— Bram Stoker Award nominee Bitter Karella
“Queer Tastes is refreshingly personal and sincere, and at the same time pushes the boundaries of the ‘queer horror’ conversation. The weirdos are welcome here.”
— Ariel Powers-Schaub, author of Millennial Nasties
