A truly incredible essay collection, effortlessly weaving together personal narrative and (pop) cultural criticism. Themes include: motherhood, queerness, pregnancy, true crime, horror movies, bisexuality / labels, patriarchy and men's violence. For fans of Carmen Maria Machado and Melissa Febos.
pickA truly incredible essay collection, effortlessly weaving together personal narrative and (pop) cultural criticism. Themes include: motherhood, queerness, pregnancy, true crime, horror movies, bisexuality / labels, patriarchy and men's violence. If you like Carmen Maria Machado's non-fiction (particularly her essay on the cult film Jennifer's Body from the queer horror anthology It Came from the Closet) and Melissa Febo's Girlhood, read this!
"Girls need plenty of healthy opportunities to scream together in fun so that when we need to scream in outrage or fear, our voices are prepared."
This essay collection about horror, motherhood, and queerness is soo good! #QueerBooks
Excited about starting this essay collection about queer womanhood and motherhood, told through the lenses of horror movies, tall tales, true crime, and more. Does anyone else remember the urban legend the title references? I thought it was so creepy as a kid! Doesn't really make sense in the 2020s though!
