Today I finished and filed my monograph on THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE, in which I break down the entire film into 60-second segments and discuss them one at a time. It's been a challenging but hugely rewarding book to write — and now it's finally done!!

Archivists, if there's anything I've learned from the Field Guide, it's that you're going to want to pre-order this book in case it someday rapidly goes out of print and is almost inaccessible to laymen and students while all formal publications still regularly cite it.

Very excited for this upcoming title publishing later next year from @leverpress.bsky.social. It's a digital ethnography of the Otherkin community! (And the cover is glorious.) Proctor has some amazing things to say about the digital mediation of identity, belonging, queerness, and (non-)humanness.
