Emma Milsom thought a job with director/playwright Teddy Winters would help her put her life back together. She hadn’t counted on the presence of British actor Sebastian Brand in the dilapidated old theater. Sebastian was the foremost actor in horror films, adept at playing monsters of every sort, and his behavior in real life wasn’t much of an improvement. Rumors of accidents and death followed him, and Emma should have had enough sense to keep her distance. But Sebastian was mesmerizing, and just as obsessed with her. As the accidents began to escalate, Emma didn’t know whom to trust. She just knew it shouldn’t be Sebastian. Was he trying to seduce her, or kill her? Or perhaps both.

Monster in the Closet is a history of the horrors film that explores the genre's relationship to the social and cultural history of homosexuality in America. Drawing on a wide variety of films and primary source materials including censorship files, critical reviews, promotional materials, fanzines, men's magazines, and popular news weeklies, the book examines the historical figure of the movie monster in relation to various medical, psychological, religious and social models of homosexuality. While recent work within gay and lesbian studies has explored how the genetic tropes of the horror film intersect with popular culture's understanding of queerness, this is the first book to examine how the concept of the monster queer has evolved from era to era. From the gay and lesbian sensibilities encoded into the form and content of the classical Hollywood horror film, to recent films which play upon AIDS-related fears. Monster in the Closet examines how the horror film started and continues, to demonize (or quite literally "monsterize") queer sexuality, and what the pleasures and "costs" of such representations might be both for individual spectators and culture at large.
