Queer horror from my teens
Tumblr media
I periodically wonder whether these books are still known and read by young goths and horror fans as they were all extremely important to me in my teenage years, so I thought I'd share them.
Though I'm cishet, during the mid 90s two of my favourite authors wrote primarily queer fiction: they were Anne Rice and another author from New Orleans who is now known as Billy Martin.
He came out as a trans man in 2011, however these books were published prior to that so unfortunately you have to search for them under his deadname. This is why I've used that name in the tags on this post. I don't believe the books were ever reprinted with his current name.
Though I loved Rice, I always felt a more immediate connection with Martin due to his vivid portrayal of subcultures like goth and punk, and how it felt to be a teenager who was part of them. I could see myself in many of his characters as I had the same interests, listened to the same music, and shared the same sense of social alienation. Remember in the 90s the Internet was still a reasonably new thing, and many of us didn't have a home Internet connection at all. There was certainly no social media, no YouTube, and no real way to meet and interact with like-minded teens unless you were lucky enough to have another "weird kid" at your school. If you were a weird kid, you likely had very few friends and were bullied.
That as much as anything else led me to seek solace in books written by an author who I felt understood me, and characters who became my friends.
Lost Souls is about vampires in a kind of Lost Boys/Near Dark way. Fans of the YouTuber OfHerbsAndAltars might be interested to know that this book is where the name of his channel comes from - it's a description of the taste of Chartreuse liqueur.
Drawing Blood is about ghosts, a "murder house", computer hacking, comic art and a very beautiful (if rather messed up) romance. This one is probably my favourite of the three.
Exquisite Corpse is about serial killers, set against the AIDS crisis of the 90s. If you like the Hannibal TV series you'll probably enjoy this one - imagine if Dennis Nilsen and Jeffrey Dahmer had somehow met.
Martin doesn't pull any punches when it comes to descriptions of blood and gore, violence, abusive parents or his portrayal of toxic romantic relationships (of which there are many in his books), but if you can deal with those things there is also a great deal of beauty, phenomenally good writing, and a somewhat unique perspective on the supernatural.
Maybe I'm biased, looking at these through the lens of my teenage self. Maybe they'd seem horribly dated to today's young audience. But I still wanted to make this post in case there's someone out there who will end up loving them as much as I did.

Passion Returns 🔥
Tumblr media
Seeing the passion return as a flicker to a flame within your eyes.
I crave your naked touch.
So raw with longing and desire.
Will you cleanse me with your pleasure to ease me from my pain..?
Feeling your mouth, that kiss begins to saturate my soul.
Your magic begins to rain over me.
The flame so healing I get lost in time.
Feeling your warm kiss below begins the divine trance of desire.
Reaping your love like a hungry lost soul.
Opening my eyes, I'm begging not to let you go.
Me

While watching Lisa Frankenstein I noticed a copy of Lost Souls by Poppy Z. Brite on Lisa's shelf, that got me wondering about the other books on her shelf. Does anyone recognize any of these? Please help me out!

so these are my copies of lost souls and drawing blood by poppy z. brite. bought in the mid 90s by my mother, she gave these books to me when i was 14 and in the twelve years since ive read them maybe 20 times each? honestly, i lost count. i know some people will find what ive done over the years to be sacrilegious as ive had to completely tape the outside and spine bc of how fragile the books had become, added stickers and drawings and song lyrics, and left lipstick kisses at all the moments that broke my heart, but i disagree. these are my favorite books of all time and theyve become so special to me that they feel like a part of me. personalizing the book in this way feels right to me. i fully intend to add even more the next time i reread them.

“Death doesn’t hurt,” said one of the twins, and a light came into his silver eyes. “Death is dark, death is sweet.” The other twin took up the litany. “Death is all that lasts forever. Death is eternal beauty.” “Death is a lover with a thousand tongues—” “A thousand insect caresses—” “Death is easy.” ― Poppy Z. Brite, Lost Souls

Progress update:
Tumblr media
I am almost done with five repeats. Normally a full shawl is somewhere between 11-15 repeats. This, however, has it only as wide as my laptop keyboard.
I am now accepting guesses/suggestions for how many repeats this should/will be!
