Description

In this episode Brian and Jeff celebrate queer horror. We explore how horror has become a space for queer expression, challenging societal norms and offering a unique perspective on both classic and contemporary horror.

Our guest, Eric LaRocca, a popular and prolific author of queer horror, will join us to discuss:

• The Monster Within: How horror reflects our deepest fears and anxieties about identity and belonging.
• Queer Liberation through Horror: How the horror genre provides a space for queer individuals to challenge societal norms and express their identities.
• The "New Queer Horror": Exploring the emergence of queer horror as a genre and its impact on our understanding of monstrosity and normalcy.

Join us as we traverse this transgressive landscape and discover the queer joy and horror that lies within.
