Two weeks until Laura Samotin and I get to terrorize Brooklyn by discussing the scary-to-hot faery scale, why primal chase play is therapy, and gothic spicy romance!

the ultimate dream is not to post so you can afford not to work. it’s to be financially stable enough that you don’t have to post.

This book is incredible. This isn't just a vampire novel, @stgibson.bsky.social gave a love letter to anyone who has been or is trapped by domestic abuse.
It says you are seen. You are loved. And that no matter what, you can heal.
Thank you for this gift. x

The image shows the cover of a book titled "A Dowry of Blood" by S.T. Gibson.

Details on the cover:

It is labeled as a The Sunday Times Bestseller.

The design is gothic and elegant, with a black background, red floral embellishments, and a portrait of a woman in period clothing (a red off-shoulder dress and pearl necklace).

The woman's eyes are obscured by a red lace-like band, enhancing the dark and mysterious tone.

The title "A Dowry of Blood" has two interlocking red rings forming the "OO" in "BLOOD."

A quote at the bottom from Alexis Henderson describes the book as "Thrilling and seductive."

Sorry I’m like this; my views of love and marriage were shaped irrevocably by reading DEATHLESS by Catherynne Valente when I was 19.

PS: its unfair to say that Saltburn says NOTHING about money. I think it captures the absurdity of excess and alternating uber hospitable warmth and protect-our-own-icyness of these kinds of posh families, and how their infighting and egos and repressed desires are always their weak spots.

tldr; sometimes a bisexual, pathological liar wealth fetishist doing unspoken psychological BDSM on a posh family while Jacob Elordi is bathed in adoring directorial-muse light is fun to watch! sometimes insane erotic soap-thrillers needle and gawk at the wealthy without a moral message about money!

It's not about if the film "glamorizes" Oliver's con. I don't see it as having been shot through a strong didactic lens (a lens an artist may choose to use but is not compelled to). The film isn't asking you to cheer or condemn, it's provoking feeling: pleasure, fear, longing, revulsion, all at once

i don't know about you, but the marketing and aesthetic references did not lead me to expect a class satire. I expected a rich people behaving badly erotic thriller. Basically, "what if Brideshead was y2k but more edgy without the Catholics", which is basically what Fennel delivered.

Baffled by unilateral "Saltburn sucks" retconning...I don't think it's controversial to say the film is stylishly shot, well acted, and entertainingly bonkers. Even if you dislike it, it's no waste of film.

The main gripe seems to be that the film isn't critical enough of generational wealth, which

I’ve got similarly bad news if you get huffy when a dark academia novel requires you to apply a little academic rigor in your reading
