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. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eQueer Little Nightmares,\u003c\/i\u003e creatures of myth and folklore \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"DefaultFontHxMailStyle\"\u003eseek belonging and intimate connection, cryptids challenge their outcast status, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eand classic movie monsters explore the experience of coming into queerness. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"DefaultFontHxMailStyle\"\u003eThe 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.
