DELIGHTED to receive my contributor's copy of MONSTERS: A COMPANION. My first in print chapter & I'm SO happy with the outcome. If you're looking for a short yet comprehensive introduction to the QUEER MONSTER, especially given the recent cultural dialogue, look no further 🤓📚🎉

🎞️ And so the NYE tradition continues, charting my 15 most watched films since 2019. Last year, Dr. Wickham Clayton astutely described the selection as “brilliant & telling.” This year, w/ changes in habitual viewing, he remarks: “the death & the gay are more evenly distributed.”
📽️🎞️ Most Watched Films: Top 15 . Starting an NYE tradition of posting my most watched films (since 2019) and, to quote @wick85c, this first entry “is brilliant. And telling.” I will not be taking any questions but, for the record, Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris is CINEMA. ✨
