multidimensional and undeniably modern term that unites individuals across a diverse spectrum in their lived opposition to heteronormativity—it was more or less a synonym for what we call “uncanny.” Now, love him or hate him, Sigmund Freud defined the uncanny as the sensation that occurs when our earliest anxieties come back to haunt us once again, which perhaps explains why queerness and horror go together so well. Because, as tethered as they may be to what society defines as scary, our childhood fears challenge us in inherently personal ways. <br/><br/>Growing up as a queer, goth outsider is nothing short of lonely. From a young age, many of us were attracted to strange and spooky stories for reasons we could not quite comprehend. Yet, as Joe Vallese’s brilliant new anthology, <a href="https://www.audible.com/pd/It-Came-from-the-Closet-Audiobook/B0B8PF8L17" rel="noopener noreferrer"><i class="italic">It Came from the Closet</i></a><i class="italic">, </i>recently reminded me, none of us were as alone as we imagined in feeling a mystifying attraction to Hollywood’s Halloween icons. In fact, the formative proximity that many of us felt for one ghoul or another is one of the things that continues to connect us as a queer community today, providing a framework for exploring the sensations of otherness in eternally titillating ways.</p><section class="block-wrapper_block-wrapper__uK_6b"><header class="mt-10 md:mt-12"><div id="" class="invisible-target-anchor_invisible-target-anchor__S9uwB"></div></header><div class="mt-10 mb-10 " data-asin-list="2L0eEEGCD9I2IFTqzwH1Uw"><div class="mb-8 mt-10"><script type="application/ld+json">{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Audiobook","bookFormat":"AudiobookFormat","abridged":true,"publisher":"Audible","provider":"Audible","name":"It Came from the Closet","image":"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/910Owln+1yL._SL800_.jpg","author":"Joe Vallese - editor","abstract":" ","description":" ","readBy":"Graham Halstead","contentUrl":"https://samples.audible.com/bk/blak/020178/bk_blak_020178_sample.mp3","mainEntityOfPage":"https://www.audible.com/pd/It-Came-from-the-Closet-Audiobook/B0B8PF8L17"}</script><div class="mb-6"><figure class="simple-player_simple-player-wrapper__vNLpF"><audio src="https://samples.audible.com/bk/blak/020178/bk_blak_020178_sample.mp3" preload="metadata"><track kind="captions" srcLang="en" label="English"/></audio><div class="simple-player_simple-player-container___dhvD"><div class="simple-player_simple-player-button-wrapper__XZNgr hidden"><button aria-label="Play button It Came from the Closet" class="simple-player_simple-player-button__8wqyv simple-player_simple-player-play-button__GMFpi"><span class="simple-player_simple-player-button-icon__5CNzm"><svg stroke="currentColor" fill="currentColor" stroke-width="0" viewBox="0 0 24 24" height="1em" width="1em" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path fill="none" stroke-width="2" d="M3,22.0000002 L21,12 L3,2 L3,22.0000002 Z M5,19 L17.5999998,11.9999999 L5,5 L5,19 Z M7,16 L14.1999999,12 L7,8 L7,16 Z M9,13 L10.8,12 L9,11 L9,13 Z"></path></svg></span></button></div><div class="simple-player_simple-player-image-wrapper__cYOkS"><a href="https://www.audible.com/pd/It-Came-from-the-Closet-Audiobook/B0B8PF8L17"><picture><source srcSet="https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/910Owln+1yL._SL800_.jpg" media="(min-width: 480px)"/><img alt="Image for It Came from the Closet" loading="lazy" width="180" height="180" decoding="async" data-nimg="1" class="simple-player_simple-player-image__HOn_k rounded-[12px]" style="color:transparent" srcSet="https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/910Owln+1yL._SL800_.jpg?w=256 1x, https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/910Owln+1yL._SL800_.jpg?w=384 2x" src="https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/910Owln+1yL._SL800_.jpg?w=384"/></picture></a></div><div class="simple-player_simple-player-info-wrapper__0tDNf"><div class="simple-player_simple-player-info__IaYfa simple-player_simple-player-info-right__h4FX0"><h4><a href="https://www.audible.com/pd/It-Came-from-the-Closet-Audiobook/B0B8PF8L17">It Came from the Closet</a></h4><a href="https://www.audible.com/search?searchAuthor=Joe+Vallese+-+editor+various+authors"><p>By Joe Vallese - editor, various authors</p></a><p>Narrated by Graham Halstead, Aven Shore, Aida Reluzco, Mark Sanderlin, Tori Barron, Krystal Hammond, Daniel Henning, Ron Butler, Hope Newhouse, Lindsey Dorcus, André Santana, Joel Froomkin, Mike Cooper, Em Grosland</p></div></div></div><div class="hidden"><div class="simple-player_simple-player-seeker__IFpZv"><input type="range" id="simple-player-slider" class="simple-player_simple-player-slider__2Gbmr" max="100"/></div><div class="simple-player_simple-player-duration__ldPId"><span class="simple-player_simple-player-duration-span__5G9yc">0:00</span><span class="simple-player_simple-player-duration-span__5G9yc">:</span></div></div></figure></div><div class=" [&_a]:text-curious-blue dark:[&_a]:link-color-dm"></div></div></div></section><h3><br/></h3><p>From flashing fits of lightning to eerie organ pipes, disturbing sets of doppelgängers, and blurry divides between who is alive and who is … less-so, gothic literature lives for the drama of otherness. Likewise, with its winding underground labyrinths and hidden trap doors, no gothic novel is complete without at least one well-guarded secret at its core. <br/><br/>Revolving around one man’s hideous attempts to conceal the corruption of his soul from the light of day, <a href="https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Picture-of-Dorian-Gray-Audiobook/B075VF1R27" rel="noopener noreferrer"><i class="italic">The Picture of Dorian Gray</i></a> is one of the most infamously queer-coded novels in all of English literature. Its homoerotic undertones are so palpable, in fact, it was cited as evidence against Oscar Wilde during his sodomy trial in 1895. And while Basil Hallward is surely attracted to his muse for his handsome features, perhaps the horror of hiding one’s true self endures as the most queer element in this iconic novel.</p><section class="block-wrapper_block-wrapper__uK_6b"><header class="mt-10 md:mt-12"><div id="" class="invisible-target-anchor_invisible-target-anchor__S9uwB"></div></header><div class="mt-10 mb-10 " data-asin-list="3pTMCYzf3A74b0U6RlyBCH"><div class="mb-8 mt-10"><script type="application/ld+json">{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Audiobook","bookFormat":"AudiobookFormat","abridged":true,"publisher":"Audible","provider":"Audible","name":"The Picture of Dorian Gray","image":"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81GrpNXVmiL._SL800_.jpg","author":"Oscar Wilde","abstract":" ","description":" ","readBy":"Russell Tovey","contentUrl":"https://samples.audible.com/bk/adbl/031113/bk_adbl_031113_sample.mp3","mainEntityOfPage":"https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Picture-of-Dorian-Gray-Audiobook/B075VF1R27"}</script><div class="mb-6"><figure class="simple-player_simple-player-wrapper__vNLpF"><audio src="https://samples.audible.com/bk/adbl/031113/bk_adbl_031113_sample.mp3" preload="metadata"><track kind="captions" srcLang="en" label="English"/></audio><div class="simple-player_simple-player-container___dhvD"><div class="simple-player_simple-player-button-wrapper__XZNgr hidden"><button aria-label="Play button The Picture of Dorian Gray" class="simple-player_simple-player-button__8wqyv simple-player_simple-player-play-button__GMFpi"><span class="simple-player_simple-player-button-icon__5CNzm"><svg stroke="currentColor" fill="currentColor" stroke-width="0" viewBox="0 0 24 24" height="1em" width="1em" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path fill="none" stroke-width="2" d="M3,22.0000002 L21,12 L3,2 L3,22.0000002 Z M5,19 L17.5999998,11.9999999 L5,5 L5,19 Z M7,16 L14.1999999,12 L7,8 L7,16 Z M9,13 L10.8,12 L9,11 L9,13 Z"></path></svg></span></button></div><div class="simple-player_simple-player-image-wrapper__cYOkS"><a href="https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Picture-of-Dorian-Gray-Audiobook/B075VF1R27"><picture><source srcSet="https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81GrpNXVmiL._SL800_.jpg" media="(min-width: 480px)"/><img alt="Image for The Picture of Dorian Gray" loading="lazy" width="180" height="180" decoding="async" data-nimg="1" class="simple-player_simple-player-image__HOn_k rounded-[12px]" style="color:transparent" srcSet="https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81GrpNXVmiL._SL800_.jpg?w=256 1x, https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81GrpNXVmiL._SL800_.jpg?w=384 2x" src="https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81GrpNXVmiL._SL800_.jpg?w=384"/></picture></a></div><div class="simple-player_simple-player-info-wrapper__0tDNf"><div class="simple-player_simple-player-info__IaYfa simple-player_simple-player-info-right__h4FX0"><h4><a href="https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Picture-of-Dorian-Gray-Audiobook/B075VF1R27">The Picture of Dorian Gray</a></h4><a href="https://www.audible.com/search?searchAuthor=Oscar+Wilde"><p>By Oscar Wilde</p></a><p>Narrated by Russell Tovey</p></div></div></div><div class="hidden"><div class="simple-player_simple-player-seeker__IFpZv"><input type="range" id="simple-player-slider" class="simple-player_simple-player-slider__2Gbmr" max="100"/></div><div class="simple-player_simple-player-duration__ldPId"><span class="simple-player_simple-player-duration-span__5G9yc">0:00</span><span class="simple-player_simple-player-duration-span__5G9yc">:</span></div></div></figure></div><div class=" [&_a]:text-curious-blue dark:[&_a]:link-color-dm"></div></div></div></section><h3><br/></h3><p>Newly released in audio for the first time since its 1978 debut, Andrew Holleran’s haunting <a href="https://www.audible.com/pd/Dancer-from-the-Dance-Audiobook/B09TLDXHPP" rel="noopener noreferrer"><i class="italic"><u class="underline">Dancer from the Dance</u></i></a> follows Malone, a closeted Midwesterner, as he steps out under the anonymous cover of New York City’s nightlife scene to tango with the ups and downs of achieving sexual liberation.

Her short story collection, <a href="https://www.audible.com/pd/Her-Body-and-Other-Parties-Audiobook/B075SK21DW" rel="noopener noreferrer"><i class="italic">Her Body and Other Parties</i></a>, as well as her genre-bending memoir, <a href="https://www.audible.com/pd/In-the-Dream-House-Audiobook/1684572797" rel="noopener noreferrer"><i class="italic">In the Dream House</i></a><i class="italic">,</i> are both unforgettable listens that will surely change the role gender plays in our discussions of domestic suspense indefinitely. <br/><br/>Likewise, it has been an absolute delight to discover which literary monsters first sparked light-bulb moments for today’s leading creators. Thanks to the rich reciprocity between horror and queerness, I look forward to the release of listens as bone-chilling as Hiron Ennes’s <a href="https://www.audible.com/pd/Leech-Audiobook/B09YJ4JX4H" rel="noopener noreferrer"><i class="italic">Leech</i></a> and Gretchen Felker-Martin’s <a href="https://www.audible.com/pd/Manhunt-Audiobook/B09S421K5N" rel="noopener noreferrer"><i class="italic">Manhunt</i></a> each year, waiting in anticipation of the shivers they’ll send down my spine with their subversive skills in storytelling. <br/><br/>Nothing reassures me more that the futures of queerness and horror will remain entwined, dissecting all that drives our feelings of discomfort for the eternity of their partnership. Personally, I could not be more thrilled to discover the haunting listens that await.</p></section><section class="block-wrapper_block-wrapper__uK_6b"><script type="application/ld+json">{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Audiobook","bookFormat":"AudiobookFormat","abridged":true,"publisher":"Audible","provider":"Audible","name":"Leech","image":"https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91wg9okozPL._SL800_.jpg","author":"Hiron Ennes","abstract":"<p><b>A surreal and horrifying debut, Hiron Ennes's </b><b><i>Leech</i></b><b> defies our understanding of identity, heredity, and bodily autonomy.</b></p> <p><b>“A wonderful new entry to Gothic science fiction, impeccably clever and atmospheric.

It is the candid, often funny, and sometimes heartbreaking tale of a Midwest farm girl's long, strange trip to become the world's sexiest, sassiest Halloween icon. \u003c/p\u003e
