"Lesbian feminist histories can have a haunting effect on the present. This book explores
the making and experience of Killjoy's Kastle, an immersive walk-through installation
and performance artwork (by Allyson Mitchell and Deirdre Logue). Inspired by Evangelical
Christian hell houses of the past, the exhibition has been staged in three cities
so far--Toronto, London, and Los Angeles--engaging thousands in interactive encounters
with the spirits that haunt feminist and queer history. Where traditional hell houses
set out to scare and convert, Killjoy's Kastle cheekily aims to provoke and pervert.
Inside Killjoy's Kastle extends and reflects on the theoretical and political legacies
of the installation in chapters by queer and feminist scholars and in vignettes by
participating artists. The many colourful photos in the book also bring the Kastle
to life, offering an important visual context."
