In a time when queer people are increasingly under attack, supporting queer books and queer authors matters more than ever. Preordering this book will ensure its existence. Let's make sure this piece of our cultural history gets the celebration it deserves!

CALLING ALL TRANSYLVANIANS! The chance to pre-order your copy of 'Absolute Pleasure: Queer Perspectives on Rocky Horror' is NOW! DON'T DREAM IT— FUND IT! PRE-ORDER HERE: www.kickstarter.com/projects/mar... Incredible cover art by: @rosalarian.bsky.social

The image shows the cover of a book titled "Absolute Pleasure: Queer Perspectives on Rocky Horror." The cover features a stylized illustration with bold colors and the book is set against a black background scattered with gold stars. The central image depicts a figure with curly black hair wearing red lipstick and a pearl necklace. The figure is adorned with purple feather boas, and is wearing a corset with "ABSOLUTE PLEASURE" written on it in large black text. The bottom of the cover indicates it's "EDITED BY MARGOT ATWELL" with a "FOREWORD BY CARMEN MARIA MACHADO." The title "ROCKY HORROR" appears in dripping, horror-style red font, emphasizing the connection to The Rocky Horror Picture Show. The overall aesthetic combines glamour, camp, and theatrical elements that reflect the cult classic's themes.

I just think it's hilarious to be sandwiched between Elvira, John Waters' Dreamland, and phallus. I couldn’t write this, even if I wanted to.

Perennial badass Tura Satana in Ted V. Mikels's 'The Astro-Zombies' — @amiepascal.com and I keep talking about this look, this "still" from the film (i.e., terrible photo I snapped off the TV with my phone).

A still from the 1968 cult film 'The Astro-Zombies' featuring actor Tura Satana reclining on an orange floral-patterned couch. She wears a bright turquoise green satin dress with white embellishments and high heels. Satana, with her signature dark hair and bangs, is reading a newspaper while smoking. On a side table next to the couch are various items including reel-to-reel tape recorder. The image captures the distinctive 1960s aesthetic of the film with its vibrant colors and furniture.

@gayofthedead.bsky.social has been in the vanguard of fans discussing the intersection of queerness & horror. So when Sean asked me to be a regular contributor to his new podcast, it was an easy 'HELL YES!'. Plus, episodes will be roughly 30 minutes long, so you won’t need half your day to listen.

Support transgressive queer cinema! Concretely, by funding it! I was introduced to Castration Movie during an interview with two of my fave film people, @willowcatelyn.bsky.social & @cadenmgardner.bsky.social —the film was beautiful & messy & vulgar & I loved it! @weard.moe, I'm so ready for more!

They absolutely buried TikTok in a Pet Sematary because what was resurrected was NOT what was laid to rest. We’re about to find out that sometimes dead is better, real quick.

For my book, I was advised to remove all mentions of COVID during the publishing process, but I refused. As I explain in the book, my research cannot be separated from the context in which it was conducted and written.

Great film! And this Blob narrative gets a healthy jolt of ‘The Reagan Era’ cynicism, with the blobby disaster being caused by a secret government-warfare-experiment-gone-wrong, which gives a distinct tonal shift from the original’s outer space lifeform doing its destructive blobby thing.
