"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.".
