marcus lowkey psychopathus est

this is kind of the perfect novel to me ngl

anyways not to over-intellectualize but i am interested in the enormous pull of supernatural romance as both a reviled cultural object and as escapist fantasy geared toward women.... can we trace this genre back to carmilla and to some extent dracula? toxic love interests ala wuthering heights? maybe i should just read carmilla

historically i am not a sarah j mass fan so i dont know why ive picked this up...never read a book written after the renaissance dramatists that uses the word 'baldrick' quite so much

they were really in love huh

nabokov loves a fucked up narrator

lowkey the paris/menelaus 1v1 has me at the edge of my seat

crying and sobbing and screaming

man tennessee williams really does create that heterosexual male fantasy to shield himself from his own self-loathing with this play huh
