Couldn't agree more - also reflects a symptomatic relectance to grapple with "theory" more widely and thus the mediations between specfic cultural texts and the broader social/political totality.

7. @boneysoups.bsky.social, "The Red Sacrement" - Just magnificent, a Gothic delight of a novel that draws from Zola, Marx and Anne Rice to create something utterly thrilling. Haven't read a book so precisely crafted for me in AGES. 🧛 PRE-ORDER IT NOW 🧛
The cover of the red sacrement by Sara Hinkley with a background of dried roses and other winter foliage.
