I’m thrilled to announce that What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? is available. It’s a deep dive into Baby Jane and its players' histories, with bonus queer/feminist/Marxist theory and rants about aging as a Gen X woman. Something for everyone! https://t.co/v70LrMUAYx

This week, Kayte and Mae are joined by writer/professor @StepfordDotter from to devour 1974's cult cannibalism classic Frightmare! We talk about crazy old biddies, British politeness, Julia Ducournau, psychiatry and tarot. Plus Kayte tries and fails to say Canibanthropy.

This note to the Marxist Literary Group made me cry at the time, and a lot more so now. Looking forward to gathering this summer to honor our comrade.

Loved J Clo's Roadrunner book and clung to it as an inimitable model for the kind of cultural writing I like to do. My heart goes out to his intimate friends. For 20 years he was kind to me in our many encounters, and so supportive of my work. I feel lucky to have known him.
