News last week included horror books, a scholarly book event, and a look at transphobia in publishing.
The transphobic malaise in modern publishing - This article came to me via a google alert with the title "Is gender-identity theory impacting the publishing industry," and I didn't look at it for the longest while because I assumed it was anti-trans. The "gender-identity theory" framing sounded so "gender critical." But, when I finally clicked on it, I was pleasantly surprised that it was actually an examination of increased transphobia and it's impact on publishing. (from The Michigan Daily)
Scholars launch new books, reflect on transgender rights in Ottawa - Laura Horak (Trans Cinema) and Susan Stryker (Changing Gender) discussed their books at an event for LGBTQ+ History Month. (from The Charlatan)
Horror genre has evolved into space to explore queer identity - This exploration of queer horror includes a look at the difference between horror created by the cis mainstream vs. horror by trans creators. (from Washington Blade)
Grotesque shows us what it means to find the good in being human - a review of Grotesque by Elliott Dunstan and interview with the author. (from Apartment613)
