Hell Followed With Us by Andrew Joseph White is a contemporary apocalyptic horror novel following the struggle of a sixteen-year-old transgender boy named Benji Woodside as he navigates his escape from a genocidal religious cult that has infected him with a chemical agent that is eating away at his current body. This research project examines how this novel contributes to the idea of the disabled monster through Benji’s experiences within the story. The disabled monster is a figure crucial to disability studies, a largely overlooked field of literary criticism. This figure originates far before the publishing of Hell Followed With Us. Such a figure has been popularized in Gothic novels such as Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, and H.G. Wells’s The Island of Doctor Moreau. This research project examines what the disabled monster represents, how Gothic novels such as those listed above have treated the disabled monstrous figure, and how Andrew Joseph White’s novel expands upon the existing framework of the disabled monster and reimagines it into a figure that is empowering toward the disabled community rather than damaging or stigmatizing. This project culminates in a research paper that aims to identify what makes a disability metaphor empowering and what makes a disability metaphor demeaning. In conclusion to this research, this project poses the idea of neutral acceptance and the continuation of disabled status as the ideal method of handling disability for the sake of empowerment within a narrative. In this sense, Hell Followed With Us represents a positive, contemporary step forward in the world of disability representation in literature.
