  1. 1. Uncanny Valley Girls

    Essays on Horror, Survival, and Love

    Uncanny Valley Girls is a short essay collection in which Zefyr Lisowski blends memoir and film criticism to examine how horror movies shape identity and connection. Drawing on her own life—from a trans childhood in the South to time in a locked psych ward and the dancefloors of Brooklyn—she reflects on films such as The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and Saint Maud to probe themes of gender, class, disability, and the uncanny ways we see ourselves. The book argues that horror can provide solace, community, and a language for survival, told without revealing plot details.
