Strange Fruit: The Twisted Mouth of Black Horror, (Paperback)

What do we consider horror, and why? And how does this relate to the daily horrors faced by Black individuals? This zine explores the rich artistic and intellectual territory of Black horror--both how racial stereotypes have been built into the cultural foundation of the horror genre, as well as how Black artists have creatively wielded genre tropes to convey complex ideas about Black experience. Vampires, zombies, Grace Jones, Jordan Peele, Frankenstein, and beyond are interpreted through a Black queer feminist lens, offering insights and strategies for consuming media with a savvy critical eye.
