I'm deeply passionate abt both the theoretical and the, ah, practical side of monsterfucking - whether it focuses on exploration of taboos, celebration of imperfections, finding comfort among fellow outcasts, or simply wanting a bunch of tentacles on you because that's HOT - so lemme tell you I am DELIGHTED by the existence of your blog and the research it catalogues.
I've yet to sink my teeth into the bulk of your research so I don't know if you already have it in your source library, but I have a pdf of JJ Cohen's Seven Theses aka what a monster represents in culture & I can throw it your way if you don't already have it.
Oh YES I LOVE JJ Cohenās Seven Theses itās so wonderful. Itās funny because it truly encapsulates my work in like. 20 pages hahah. Really wonderful stuff that gets to the heart of monsters and their allure and why we just canāt leave them be. If you enjoyed that I HIGHLY recommend The Monster Theory Reader edited by Jeffery Andrew Weinstock itās practically my bible and so so fascinating.
I hope you enjoy my ongoing work! Iām always looking for recs on different readings or cultural monsters, especially non western erotic monsters and queer erotic monsters :)
