Carmen Maria Machado makes a victorious return to Bitches On Comics! After helping us close out our Pride Extravaganza, she's kicking off the Spooktacular with a thoughtful discussion on Jennifer's Body. This movie was panned on its release but is now considered a queer feminist classic, which I'm sure we can all relate to. This conversation is in celebration of Feminist Press's It Came from the Closet, essays on queer horror.
