AWP23: Queer Reflections on Horror

Saturday, March 11, 10:35am-11:50am
Terrace Suite II
, Summit Building, Seattle Convention Center, Level 4

In the new anthology It Came from the Closet, queer writers consider the horror films that deepened, amplified, and illuminated their own experiences. They blend memoir and film analysis to dive deep into queer, feminist, and subversive readings of a historically homophobic genre. On this panel, writers from different literary genres discuss hybridizing cultural criticism and personal storytelling, writing about visual mediums, and how their work celebrates queer monstrosity in all its forms.

Moderated by Nadine Santoro, featuring panelists Samuel Autman, Carmen Maria Machado, Joe Vallese, and Spencer Williams.
