Almost… So close… Just a little more!!!!

thats…..that got out of control LOL

 it was supposed to be a innocent dorky comic strip about Erik being hot and ugly, but then all of a sudden they attacked each other. 

This month is AWASH in new stuff! This is just a jackpot of new things.

Conversations with Phantoms by Ron Albanese is an honest-to-goodness nonfiction deep dive into the 1979 piece of classic cinema, KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park. If you wanted to know more about how that movie ever possibly came into being, now you CAN.

Where Dreams Descend by Janella Angeles is the first of two books about a magical theater in which the lines between magicians and musicians are blurred, and kidnapping the star is not out of the question. We don’t see a lot of versions of the Phantom that emphasize his stage magic and supernatural qualities!

When Night Breaks by Janella Angeles is the second in the series, with the heroine navigating the frightening underground world of mirrors and illusions while magicians battle to rescue her from the sorcerer she’s afraid to love…

Echoes: Das Erbe der Maske by A. L. Butcher is the German edition of Butcher’s novella Echoes of a Song, about Raoul coping with the trauma of the events of the original story… and whether or not something is actually happening to him now. Worth a grab if you prefer reading in German!

My Favorite Shade by Rebekah Dodson is a modern romance novel featuring Erik as a shy geek, Kristine as a sexy new divorcee, and the unfortunate Raoul as the cheating husband she’s in the middle of breaking up with. Connections to the Phantom story seem slim, but Erik and Kris play a D&D-esque tabletop roleplaying game, so we can only hope…

The Phantom Verses by Angela Patmore is a volume of poetry based on the Phantom story, mostly with a very sympathetic image of the Phantom himself.

The Butt Pounder of the Opera by Chuck Tingle is FINALLY a comedic gay erotica from the king of bizarre porn, in which a handsome sasquatch is going to do things to an innocent young opera performer. I have been waiting for years to see when Tingle would finally write something Phantom related. I was starting to take it personally.

Phantom of the Community Theatre, directed by Dave R. Watkins is a parody short film about a squad of ghost hunters called in to deal with disruptions at the local community theater. It looks like one of those love it or hate it comedy deals - proceed at your own caution!

Listen to The Killers or Queen or Foo Fighters whilst annotating Shakespeare. Drink coco-cola out of a wine glass. Wear those black spikey punk heels to an art gallery. Wear smudged eyeliner and red lipstick but keep your hands perfectly manicured. Rock out to classical composers whilst you spead along the coast.
