Throughout history, monsters have appeared in popular culture as stand-ins for the non-conforming, the marginalized of society. Pushed into the shadows as objects of fear, revulsion, and hostility, these characters have long conjured fascination and self-identification in the LGBTQ+ community, and over time, monsters have become queer icons. Creatures of myth and folklore seek belonging and intimate connection, cryptids challenge their outcast status, and classic movie monsters explore the experience of coming into queerness. The characters in these stories and poems, the Minotaur camouflaged in a crowd of cosplayers, a pubescent werewolf, a Hindu revenant waiting to reunite with her lover, a tender-hearted kaiju, a lagoon creature aching for the swimmers above him, a ghost of Pride past, relish their new sparkle in the spotlight. Pushing against tropes that have historically been used to demonize, the queer creators of this collection instead ask: What does it mean to be (and to love) a monster? 650 0 $a Sexual minorities $v Literary collections. 650 0 $a Monsters $v Literary collections. 650 0 $a Sexual minorities $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Sexual minorities $v Poetry. 650 0 $a Sexual minorities' writings, Canadian $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Audiobooks. 650 0 $a Fiction. 650 0 $a Literary collections. 650 0 $a Poetry. 650 0 $a Queer poetry. 650 0 $a Queer fiction. 700 1 $a Verayo, Danielle, $e narrator. 700 1 $a Ly, David, $e editor. 700 1 $a Zomparelli, Daniel, $d 1985- $e editor. 941 $a 1 945 $a cdab 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20230808011453.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F3453BBA35B011EEA7DDB3DB4DECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
