The Water Outlaws by S. L. Huang

Mountain outlaws on the margins of society, the Bandits of Liangshan proclaim a belief in justice—for women, for the downtrodden, for progressive thinkers a corrupt Empire would imprison or destroy. They’re also murderers, thieves, smugglers, and cutthroats. Together, they could bring down an empire. 

Now available in paperback!

Somewhere Beyond the Sea by TJ Klune

The long-awaited sequel to The House in the Cerulean Sea is a story of resistance, lovingly told, about the daunting experience of fighting for the life you want to live and doing the work to keep it. Welcome back to Marsyas Island—home to six magical and purportedly dangerous children. This is Arthur’s story.

The West Passage by @jpechacek

When the Guardian of the West Passage dies in her bed, the women of Grey Tower feed her to the crows and go back to their chores. No successor is named, and no hand takes up the fallen blade, so the West Passage—the ancient byways of the beast—goes unguarded. This is a weird and delightful journey across a deliriously medieval landscape where decay thrives in abundance and giant Ladies rule a palace the size of a city. 

Blood Debts by Terry J. Benton-Walker

On the thirtieth anniversary of the largest magical massacre in New Orleans history, Clement and Cristina Trudeau mourn their father and care for their sick mother. But their mother isn’t sick, they learn: She’s cursed. Cursed by a member of the same magic council over which she used to preside. Cursed by someone who will come for Clement and Cristina next. 

Now available in paperback!

Bury Your Gays by @drchucktingle

After so many years, Misha’s big Oscar moment is here. All he has to do? Kill off the gay characters in his long-running streaming series, “for the algorithm.” Misha refuses, but that’s hardly the end, because monsters from his old horror movie days have begun to step out from the silver screen and stalk him. 

The Brides of High Hill by Nghi Vo

The Cleric Chih accompanies a young bride to her wedding to Lord Guo, the aging ruler of a crumbling estate, but amid the elaborate courtesies and extravagant banquets, they realize something haunts the shadowed halls. As the big night nears close, Chih will learn that not all monsters dwell in shadows; some hide in plain sight. 

Remedial Magic by Melissa Marr

1) An unassuming librarian falls in love with a powerful witch. 

2) Previous librarian discovers she too is a witch…

3) …and that she must attend magical community college to learn how to save her new world from annihilation. 

Swordcrossed by @fahye

Part-time con artist / full-time charming menace Luca Piere didn’t expect to get blackmailed into teaching a chronically responsible merchant Matti how to wield a sword. He also didn’t expect to find his charge so inconveniently handsome, or to get so entangled in his tale of intrigue, sabotage, and matrimony. 

It’s important to read Swordcrossed because while you’re reading gay fiction, you can also study the blade.

Review - Bury the Bride

Rob Zombie’s little brother Spider One tries his hand at hillbilly horror with Bury the Bride. The results should have been buried before they started to stink.

2023 Salem Horror Fest - Dispatch #1

I’m psyched to be covering the 2023 Salem Horror Fest (which I have covered since 2018). What better place to have a celebration of horror and genre films than in Salem, MA? I recently posted my Preview. Here is my first Dispatch!

Scout Taylor-Compton and Krsy Fox in Bury the Bride

Screening Sat. night 4/22/23 at Cinema Salem is Bury the Bride. It is directed by Haverhill, MA native Spider One, known for being the singer in Powerman 5000. He also happens to be the younger brother of Rob Zombie, who also began in music and evolved into directing some notable genre films. In Bury the Bride, there’s a bachelorette party weekend with a bride-to-be (Scout Taylor-Compton, who was the best thing about Rob Zombie’s Halloween reboots), her sister (Krsy Fox, also a co-writer of the film) and her friends. The girls weekend gets strange and deadly when the groom and his friends show up. There are some legit kills here, but it just felt like another vacation-gone-horribly-wrong horror story at a certain point. One of the groom’s friends is played by Chaz Bono (yes, the child of Sonny and Cher) who is also an executive producer. I would’ve liked to have seen more of their character. The idea of redneck low-lifes coming in to shake things up is nothing new, but I think I just hoped there would be more to this one. Having said that, if you’re going to see it, see this with an audience. Movies like this one play great as fests like SHF and BUFF.

Stay tuned for more SHF coverage!

The Blood Spattered Bride (1972, Vicente Aranda) | The Haunting Idea: Female Gothic Metaphors and Feminist Theory, Diana Wallace

[beeftony]

What fascinates me about Chise is that she clearly understands enough about how her situation would come off to people that she obfuscates the truth, but her sense of morality is off-kilter enough that she honestly considers being sold into slavery as “saving her life,” at least enough to reference it in those terms when explaining it to the sister of the man who facilitated the sale. She seems utterly incapable of holding a grudge, and actually likes how her life has turned out since then, given that the alternative she considered before that was literally jumping off a roof.

What I’ve seen of season two so far is largely about Chise coming to terms with the fact that she’s allowed to have agency and desires of her own, something she’d long considered lost to her even before she willingly signed away her rights and turned herself into merchandise to be sold. Her character arc in the first season brought her to the threshold of asserting her own will after suppressing herself for most of her life, but now she has to actually put it into practice, and Lucy is just blunt enough to force her down the rest of that path.

"Oh...!" Josephine cooed, eyes lighting up as she squeezed the quilt, saying, tone sentimental, "I made a quilt so much like this when I was pregnant with June...I swaddled her in it the day she was born, I used to bundle her up in it when she was a tot, I tucked her in with it...it's a bit of an old tradition, you could say-my mother made one for me, and her mother made one for her and...well, you get the picture!"

Knowing her daughter had carried on that tradition when pregnant with her own son was very moving for the Burke matriarch to hear, and she made a mental note to ask to see the one June made, for now instead choosing to say, "I love a quilt that tells a story. And judging from this, your courtship must be quite the tale!"

"Ah...that it is," Randall chuckled bashfully, his grandparents pulling up seats, just as Wilhelm's brothers were doing the same, excited to hear how their little brother fell in love with their sister-in-law. It was a story Wilhelm never grew tired of telling, always gregarious as he recounted it, grinning from ear to ear as he recalled his being smitten with the cute maid working at the hotel he'd landed at upon arriving in town-who seemed just as smitten with him to boot.

"You were working at the hotel, June?" August asked curiously, at which June nodded, saying, "It was the first opening I saw after the nursery closed. Before that, I was still working as a nurse, but..."

Though she smiled as she trailed off, there was a bittersweetness to her tone, to her smile: She loved nursing, loved her work there, but the recent passing of her parents so close together dampened that enjoyment, made it hard to focus. So she left for the nursery-she always intended to go back, but things just never quite worked out that way...

The levity was still present in the room, of course (especially when Colin and Callahan, trying to keep the mood light, ribbed their brother for his flirting methods, having seen them in action back in Ireland), but although he put on a smile, August seemed to wince a little, with his wife giving his arm a little squeeze of reassurance as she asked Randall and Emily, "Was your courtship just as much of a whirlwind?"

[whats-in-a-sentence]

The wording of English marriage services from the tenth century speaks of a 'wife' and a 'bride' and blesses future children of the marriage but does not define the marriage as heterosexual. The wedding service used in the twelfth century, the Bury St Edmunds Missal, refers to a bride and bridegroom, but not specifically to a man and woman. It was not until the sixteenth century that the Sarum Manual wedding service specifically referred to a man and a woman in the marriage vows.

2023 Salem Horror Fest - Preview

Now in it’s 6th year (or 666 as they call it), the Salem Horror Fest has become one of my favorite genre film festivals in New England. I have been lucky enough to cover this festival since 2018. It was one of many exciting events in Salem, MA in the month of October, but last year they decided to move the festival to April in order to not get lost in the shuffle. This year’s festival begins tonight April 20 through April 30, 2023 and takes place at Peabody Essex Museum, Cinema Salem and Bit Bar.

2023 festival poster

Here are some of the highlights of this year’s festival I’m looking forward to:

Celebrity Appearances: Opening Night kicks off with Tony Todd in conversation and a screening of Candy Man. Linnea Quigley and her Night of the Demons co-stars will be on hand for an event. There will be some Fright Night events with stars William Ragsdale, Stephen Geoffreys, and Amanda Bearse.

Retro Screenings: They have some older films playing including John Carpenter’s The Fog, the found-footage classic The Blair Witch Project, and more!

Feature Films: Bury the Bride is a bachelorette party gone horribly wrong from MA native Spider One (of Powerman 5000). In the animated The Weird Kidz, a camping trip goes horribly wrong. In Guys at Parties Like It, a fraternity party goes horribly wrong. In Bliss of Evil, a band goes into a recording studio and things go horribly wrong. Sensing a theme here?

There are also some short films, live podcasts, lectures, parties and more! Stay tuned to Green’s Party for festival reviews, coverage and more!
