Finalist for the 2017 Lambda Literary Award in the LGBT Nonfiction category presented by the Lambda Literary FoundationGhost Faces explores the insidious nature of homophobia even in contemporary Hollywood films that promote their own homotolerance and appear to destabilize hegemonic masculinity. Reframing Laura Mulveys and Gilles Deleuzes paradigms and offering close readings grounded in psychoanalysis and queer theory David Greven examines several key films and genre trends from the late 1990s forward. Movies considered range from the slasher film Scream to bromances and beta male comedies such as I Love You Man to dramas such as Donnie Darko and 25th Hour to Rob Zombies remake of the horror film Halloween.
