Dimensional Doors
I have long been interested in subverting and rediscovering the power of visual and literal cliches. Central to the world of Justin Case and the Closet Monster are doors, which are powerful metaphors for the threshold between being out and being hidden in the closet. In my book, each character has a different door because each character’s experience coming out of the closet is different. We also learn that some of the doors are portals between the human dimension and the Closet Monster dimension.
