For an infamous as the movie adaptation is for being violent and gorey, the book is kind of a slowburn.

Straight guy horror: what if I was dishonest to a hot young girl and she tortured me for it.

There is a style of writing that I don't really have a name for. It's like whimsical but sinister, and unserious at face value while talking about a dire set of circumstances. Reminds me a lot of old Kelly Link. Anyway, I'm loving this book! The writing is superb.

You had me at "trans girl utopian death cult"

I've got seven days to sell ten tickets to my seasonally appropriate drag show at the bookstore. Let's get spooky.

Halfway through: it's one of the best haunted house novels I've read in years, and probably the best Rachel Harrison book since Such Sharp Teeth. I'm REALLY enjoying it.

Don't forget, our big spooky Halloween edition of Reading the House Down is mere weeks away, on Saturday, October 4th at Clintonville Books!

Been engaging with a lot of feel-bad queer fiction lately, so this has been a welcomed change of pace... so far anyway! This could still go off the rails before the end!

Hey divas. It's my least favorite holiday. Celebrate by dropping by Clintonville Books and buying something to read for 20% off all weekend long. I'll be here! Laboring!

New Plot Twist! just dropped! That more opportunities for Bluesky to call me a smut pedlar.

Coming up on December 6th, I'll be joined by my co-producer Thrillda Swinton, alongside Kitt Valentine, Kritter Mortis, Ravae Chainsaw, and Scarlett Chaton!

I'll be interested to see what the others have to say about this elimination because Brigiding was looking pretty displeased in the background as Madame Yoko's elimination was being announced. (Although maybe that's just her beat)

Omg this is going to be a big show. Emily Rath in conversation with @biancaprobably.bsky.social at Clintonville Books, Columbus OH on September 3rd at 6:00pm!

This is a test: if I refer to Plot Twist!, the show I'm producing for Clintonville Books in Columbus OH on August 9th, as "a BBQ for the senses and a menagerie of earthly delights", will this post get flagged?

This is a test: If I refer to Plot Twist!, the show I'm producing for Clintonville Books on August 9th, as "burlesk", will it still get flagged?

Columbus! We are a month away from PLOT TWIST! the sober, afterhours burlesque show I'm producing for Clintonville Books. It is an INCREDIBLE cast, I know this show will sell out. I would love to see you there. Get your tickets now at Clintonville Books Dot Com.

America who? I'm off to Pittsburgh to hang out with a bunch of furries.

This is so much fun, but as it is about gay men in the 80s I know that it's going to destroy me.

MORE GAY RECS (MORE SAPPHIC EDITION)

This is your sign to check in on your geriatric millennial gays who are still obsessed with twinks.

I almost didn't read this because I hate the title, I think it's very cumbersome and belies the seriousness of the subject matter, but the story is fabulous! We've got a serial killer, AND ghosts, AND crime scene cleanup, AND religious trauma, AND

I'm kind of obsessed with how exhausted these divas look on the cover of this sapphic romance novel. Very grounded in reality.

Read something gay.

A mama bird has set up shop on our front porch and Matt sent me this picture of her babies this morning. They're getting so big. 🥹

We had a bit of a cast shakeup for the drag show at Clintonville Books on June 28th, but ultimately I'm very happy with this cast. If you're in Columbus (or want to come to Columbus) you can get your tickets through the event tab at clintonvillebooks(dot)com
