An investigation of how the uncanny, as defined by Freud and later theorists, shapes the representation of lesbian and gay sexualities and transgender identity in British, American and Caribbean fiction published between 1980 and 2007. Palmer reads novels by Christopher Bram, Philip Hensher, Alan Hollinghurst, Randall Kenan, Shani Mootoo, Sarah Schulman, Ali Smith, Sarah Waters, Jeanette Winterson and others, discussing secrets and disclosure, queer spectrality, the homely and unhomely house, the grotesque, lesbian social invisibility, transgender doubles, and sexuality and race.
