{"product_id":"castle-faggot-derek-mccormack-9781635901375","title":"Castle Faggot","description":"A dark satire about an amusement park more deranged than anything Disney could imagine: a playland for gay men called Faggotland.\nCastle Faggot is Derek McCormack's darkest and most delicious book yet, a satire of sugary cereals and Saturday morning cartoons set in an amusement park more deranged than anything Disney dreamed up. At the heart of the park is Faggotland, a playland for gay men, and Castle Faggot, the darkest dark ride in the world. Home to a cartoon Dracula called Count Choc-o-log, the castle is decorated with the corpses of gays—some were killed, some killed themselves, all ended up as décor. \nThe book includes a map of Faggotland, a photobook of the castle, the instructions for a castle-shaped dollhouse, and the novelization of a TV puppet show about Count Choc-o-log and his friends—reminiscent of the classic stop-motion special Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, but even gayer and more grotesque. As scatological as Sade but with a Hanna-Barbera vibe, Castle Faggot transmutes McCormack's love of the lurid and the childlike, of funhouses and sickhouses, into something furiously funny: as Edmund White says, “the mystery of objects, the lyricism of neglected lives, the menace and nostalgia of the past—these are all ingredients in this weird and beautiful parallel universe.”","brand":"Semiotext (E)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51348305183008,"sku":"9781635901375","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781635901375.jpg?v=1780694655","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/castle-faggot-derek-mccormack-9781635901375","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
